A year ago Curt Schilling called-out Kobe Bryant after observing him courtside in Boston during the NBA Finals. It was also evident watching Kobe on television, he was overboard-nasty, petulant and cruel. That Kobe didn’t make another appearance during the Finals, and this year his public image seems permanently changed. A lot of endorsement money may have something to do with this. Bryant already lost this once through a bad scandal several years ago-complete with a Clemens-esque lip-smacking public explanation that followed, but now Spike Lee has produced for ESPN, a somewhat fawning profile of the best-and in a way the worst-NBA player of his generation.
