He beat his wife, applied for a job at Circuit City for employee discounts while listing Larry Bird as a reference and drank Hennessy in the locker room. Nothing more than that I suppose.


Neglected his dogs to death too I believe.

The wife thing came out with his wife being charged for throwing something, I believe a bowl or cub at him and him restraining her when police came because neighbors called; they got divorced after. And the dog charges were dropped because it came out that he was a road trip with his team and had paid care givers actually to take the pets while he was gone. But yeah those were bad initially at face value.


The circuit city thing is true as he admits to it and so is drinking at half time as a bull

For someone as aggressive as Kobe to preach patience and someone like Metta who does questionable things on and off the court and told Randle to emulate the Spurs shows how much these two matured.

So much knowledge being imparted to a player, at a young age, that has the same drive as they do. Don't want to jinx anything, but Randle is going to be very special.

Sometimes there are good reasons to beat your wife; shows who wears the pants in the family. Circuit City is a nice job. I'd list Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan as references too if I could. Hennessy is a nice choice of drink.

Define questionable...
