As far as drugs at least half the black NBA players are on drugs at least during the off-season, that aspect can't really be taken into the equation until it becomes out of hand and suspensions are coming down. Speaking of suspensions both the guys you listed have had some pretty big ON THE FRIGGIN COURT problems. i can tell by all your Kobe love that you're perfectly fine with low standards for your ball players. You probably like the cowboys and are OK with having a team like the Cincinatti Bengals as long as you get some W's. I only like star players that hold themselves to a higher moral standard.

Kobe is a horrible role model and a lousy HUMAN BEING I sure as hell wouldn't want that to be the leader of my team.
