Kobe Bryant

A role model for me growing up and still is someone I admire is Kobe Bryant. When the rumors of his accused rape allegations came about I refused to believe them because I respected him. He has really bounced back I believe since that situation. He’s become a great father and is a great influence for kids who watch the NBA now. He’s one of the leagues true stars and he’s now I believe a great role model for young athletes. I am not saying that rape is by all means ok it’s totally not and I was pretty devastated to hear he was even apart of such thing. But I feel he’s learned from the situation and now embraces his status as a role model. Whether the allegations are true or not he is human and he made a mistake so I had to look past that and see him for whom he is now.
