Yeah she was never going to let someone take her spot. She could easily be replaced c'mon now.

Regardless this is a nice consolation prize when he turns 40 next week

In 2014, Kobe Bryant bought about 10% of BodyArmor for roughly $6M. Yesterday, Coca-Cola bought a stake in BodyArmor, making Kobe's investment worth close to $200M.

Not a bad investment for the Mamba!

“I think it’s going to be difficult for him,” TNT analyst Charles Barkley told Sporting News. “Kobe doesn’t have a college degree, and you can only go to so many business meetings.” - Charles Barkley.

Kobe has since won a Oscar, a Emmy and now this with BodyArmor.

actually should could not easily be replaced. because they got together when both of them were very young. meaning he actually really liked her. she wasnt JUSt some hot chick. even if thats all she was in the beginning. He grew to like/love her for real. then you add the fact she(before this last child) had his first couple of kids. so she was always going to have a special spot. there was never going to be a legit replacement for her. she isnt some random hot chick that he got pregnant and they kind of dated. the truth is, he played it well, which is why they are still together. he really wanted to be with her which is a beautiful thing.

people just dont get it. college for the most part does not make a dumb person smart. Smarter people end up going to college because they are already smart. Kobe CHOSE to pass up on college, he already did well on the SAT's and had very good grades in high school. You can tell the guy is highly intelligent. you dont need college for that. thats a gift you're born with. if you have the chance to make millions upon millions of dollars doing something you love. at the end of that career you can easily go into something else if you already are very smart and have other desires(which he did and chuck didnt know this.)

College CAN, however, help teach sentence structure...

I look at it like this. If you're gifted/smart and able to success in life without college whether by crafts/arts/skills/creating something or other venue... basically you're street savvy/smart enough than you'll succeed but if you're not, then traditional higher learning will help getting you traditional jobs. The problem with US higher learning is the unchecked cost

The drink tastes amazing too. Much better than Gatorade and less heavy on my stomach. The regular version has a good amount of sugar (no corn syrup) but they have a "light" version with less sugar that I like to drink post workout
