well if the NBA didn't give KOBE his MUCH MUCH DESERVE PROPS.... at least B.E.T. did. Isn't the CEO of B.E.T. the owner of the Hornets?...

I have no idea, because I honestly never watch B.E.T.

OMG really!!!??? How tight!! Dayam I haven't been around tha tube for a minute, I been always on tha go... But daaayam, I can't believe I neva heard this!!! U GO KOBE!

YEAH! Big ups to KB for getting the award. I missed them last night, did anyone watch em? Were they good? Was Kobe there to get his award?

Yeah that does suck that he sold it to viacom. Because if he still owned it, you know BET would air mad charlotte games! Here's a question, what do you think the new Charlotte team should be called? I was thinking Charlotte Soldiers, Charlotte Troopers, or Charlotte Force. Something to do with the military since were supporting our troops and all, why not have a BBall team named after them. There uniforms can be Urban or Desert Camoflauge (Home) and Woodland Camoflauge (Road). Oh, and before I forget, congrats to KOBE and MAGIC!

they have already named the Charlotte team, they decided to name them the Bobcats.

I am a member, I just forgot to log in.

Did you guys see Ashanti's performance during the BET awards.

She is so sexy with those beautiful legs. I'm watching that awards show over and over again just for that performance.

Man, she's fine!!!!!!

YOU SAID IT KOBE-ONE....ASHANTI HAS SOME OF THE PRETTIEST DAMN LEGS!!!!! ITS CRAZY!!!

SHE IS TOOO FINE....(CANT SING LIVE).....BUT FINE AS ALL OUTDOOR!!!!

You got that right Magic to Kobe.

From the music videos Ja Rule and Ashanti did last year, it seems like they were going out. Probably not, though.

She's looking hotter as ever.

Have ya'll seen the before and after shots of Ashanti?? I gotta post it up... LMAO... it's comedy...

Messed up... but funny...

I've known for a long time that celebs look like crap in "real life". But of course they look like superstars in public and movies and stuff... But damn, what a change.

I know people can use photoshop to make them look all ugly and stuff, but I don't even know if this picture is legit... I just wanted to show ya'll so ya;ll can get a kick outta it...lol

DAYAM!! That's dirty!! LOL

I's amazing what a little make-up and upkeep will do for you.

Kobe also was mentioned in the 10 best plays of the year by NBA hoops or wtf the name was. Kobe got the #2 & #1 best plays of the year.

Yeah! Ashanti got wolf in her blood Man, money can make a bottom chick look like the top piece. I must say she was on top of her game at the BET awards, but I'm not feeling that bonze tan stuff anymore, it's time to put that junk to bed.
