Bryant married Laine in a small Catholic church in Dana Point. None of his family or teammates was there.
always a good way to start a marriage...
Bryant was booed by the East Coast crowd when he was named MVP of the game. He seemed close to tears, and would later say his family?s absence hurt as much as the crowd?s reaction.
he's a sissy boy.
Bryant was also loosening up, due to the influence of three bodyguards he?d hired in 2001. As he distanced himself from family, the bodyguards became the posse he?d never had. They encouraged him to go bungee jumping, to drink and to hang out. In short, to be the playa he?d never been.
because good bodyguards say "bungee jump, boss. we'll catch ya. here drink, drink, drink..."
the motivation to score an astonishing 40 points in nine consecutive games.
he knows how to score
