Vanessa Bryant thinks that Kobe cheated on her at least 105 times in 10 years, according to reports.
As one of my favorite tweeters posted, turns out Kobe’s true idol isn’t Michael, it’s Wilt. Forget Kareem’s scoring title, Kobe is trying to dethrone Wilt and his 20,000 jump-offs scored.
But in all seriousness, lets talk about those stats.
I know that some people don’t like the statistical revolution in basketball, but I’m pretty sure none of us were able to watch the 105 “overtime” games Kobe participated in, so all we have are the numbers to go by.
Vanessa claims that Kobe cheated on her 105 times over the course of 10 years. She also claims that he has a “jump off” in every NBA city. This, my friends is called a habitual cheater. I’m no Hugh Hefner, but if my calculations are right, there’s 29 NBA cities and 10 years of time to do the cheating in. This means Kobe was having roughly 10 to 11 affairs a year even though he was traveling to 29 different cities, giving him a scoring rate of approximately 33%. That’s some inefficient scoring.
Taking it a step further (since I haven’t taken this way too far already) the 105 number seems way too low for an NBA Super Star like Kobe Bryant. You would think a guy with his assets would of carried more weight. Either Vanessa’s stat-tracker is broken or Kobe has been severely under-performing over the last decade. An expert estimate of what Kobe’s production should have been would be closer to 1,005 than to 105. Over 10 years, 82 games a year plus playoffs, most of which are at least 500 miles away from home in 29 different cities… well, you do the math.
Makes you wonder, though, between the insane gym hours, basketball games, event appearances, countless affairs and raising two kids, when does the Mamba actually sleep?
