In the wake of controversy over whether the sexual assault allegations against NBA legend Kobe Bryant should be mentioned after he was tragically killed along with his daughter and seven other passengers in a helicopter crash on January 24, Hall of Famer Charles Barkley told NBC’s Today, “ … he had a flaw that we all know about … You have to tell the picture in totality.”
Barkley was interviewed along with his “Inside The NBA” colleagues, NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal, former NBA star Kenny Smith and the show’s host, Ernie Johnson. Barkley stated, ”Kobe Bryant is one of the greatest basketball players ever. And he had a flaw that we all know about … You have to tell the picture in totality. We’re not making Kobe out to be no hero. We’re celebrating his basketball excellence. We understand what happened in Colorado. That’s fair, but two things can be true.”
