Jordan Sinnott used to play for my team as did his father, I watched both. However, I do concede that Kobe Bryant is the bigger story. American sports are quite popular over here.RIP etc But I've never heard of him and can't see why the hell it was front page main headline on BBC News site for 24 hours...
Something like netball I think?
Meanwhile UK footballer Jordan Sinnott was murdered and it got nowhere near as much coverage.
He is absolutely an all time great. The fact that basketball clearly isn't a sport of choice for white middle class pinkfishies doesn't detract from his global greatness.
Americans don’t follow our sporting scene over much. They don't have a clue about cricket, basketball & American football has a strong following here as it was shown free to air for quite a while on C4.
Saintly Character? apparently not,despite image....allegations of rape or non consensual sex which involved damage to victims vagina, say otherwise.
He got away with that at the time but pretty much admitted it was non consensual later.
Not really. In fact, his so-called apology to her was for having (in his view) consensual sex. He admitted no criminal guilt. Recall he made this statement after the case was dismissed, and no evidence has since come up to show he was compelled to do so as part of a deal to drop criminal charges.
Re-Read what I said. American sports do have a following over here & have for a while. It is not always reciprocated though.That's my point - NBA is very much a minority sport here, as are the other american sports. That's why we snigger when they say e.g. 'World Series'.

I think he said something along the lines of that he though it was consensual, but he understood that she might not have seen it that way.
