Kobe Bryant: Still kind of a douchbag

Kobe Bryant: Still kind of a douchbag

Basketbawful reader joe just sent me this priceless video of Kobe Bryant smacking some poor lady in the face with a towel during yesterday's Mavs/Lakers game. So yes, he's trusting his teammates more and has stopped blasting his owner, GM, and front office. But once a Black Mamba, always a Black Mamba.

Edit: Basketbawful reader 30f had to rain all over my parade of hate with the following 100 percent correct explanation for Kobe's apparent act of superdickery: "Looks to me like the Mambster is grabbing a towel off the top of the the stack and the second one in the stack clings to the towel in his hand. You can see the towel he actually grabbed remaining in his hand at the end of the clip as the other one flies towards its (accidental?) target. This is not to say that Kobe is NOT a tool, I just think that this is how he picks out the conquests for his road trip hotel rooms without the wife knowing. Kobe hearts MILFS."
