I’m coming with the good stuff right up top: Kobe Bryant is a dirty player…
“It’s insulting,” [Kobe] told reporters [in March 2007 when Bryant was assessed a flagrant 1 foul for elbowing Philadelphia’s Kyle Korver in the jaw]. “I don’t need to be a dirty player. That’s just ridiculous. I’m not a dirty player — never have been, never will be.”
…but…he is not the dirtiest player in L.A. — that would be Manny Ramirez now, right?
