Was with his wife the day before. Saw some pics on /r/NBA. Mixing things up!

He's obviously putting his best foot forward, judging from his hand language, good luck to him, Kobe would be a perfect fit for Steph , he is used to playing in the large venues.

So thats why she had a sore neck during the olympics

nice guys don't cheat on their wives with hotel workers. Kobe is a scumbag, albeit a very talented scumbag. If he couldn't play basketball worth a damn you would all agree with me. Stay in London Stephanie, no one wants you back here.

I think you will find he has seperated from his wife over 10 yrs a few motnsh back now. Maybe the family are over watching him play?

A little Birdy told me that Kobe struck Steph at the Beijing Olympics

I think kobeh8r is an angry man hater, perhaps this is Nat Cook?

Color me hugely disappointed if your innuendos have any truth to them... If Marko Jaric can bag an Adriana Lima - what should Kobe be able to achieve... Steph Rice? Please...

I call BS on this.

The Australian Womens swimming team thought it hilarious when their training was in lock down mode to all except them and invited media one particular session prior to the games.

They were told Kobe was attending their session. They said 'Yeah right!'

Kobe then rocked up with his daughters swimming caps and told Steph that his daughters said that Step has to sign them! After inital disbelief from all the girls, she signed them and all posed for photos.

The girls laughed their arses off, and the media lapped it up. This has been a very public friendship.

Kudos to Non-PC

Jake, I think they're still somewhat together. She's in London with their kids during the games. They were together at an event just the other night:

Whoa! She looks high maintenance....

So Michael Jackson IS alive????

Steph is wayyyyyy better than Mrs Kobe. Whats with the duck lips?

quack.

nuff said.

Kobe loves rice for dinner!

Someone get Steph away from that disgraceful man

You look hot today Steph, like a sun rice
oh stop it Kobe your naughty.

@ non-pc. Nice

I would add that Rice is used to not coming 1st at the Olympics, and given that Kobe comes 1st at most things he tries, its a perfect match!

Also some (undeveloped joke) about Kobe being all over Stephanie like white on rice!

Geez you get snapped watching a game of basketball at the Olympics and all of a sudden something is going on!
Plus Steph is too old for Kobe! ;)

Sorry guys, but those two were definitely alleged to be an item back in Beijing. It's one of the worst-kept secrets out there. I'm loving how the newspapers are saying this is a blossoming new romance. Surely they must know!

Interesting to see Adelaide girl Jess Trengove in that first top photo sitting next to Stef who was sitting next to Kobe....

wonder if Liz Cambage's tweat was also aimed at little Jessy....or just Stef, yeah i can just imagine Liz stomping on little Jess..

"Cambage, who has attracted headlines in London herself after becoming the first woman to pull off a slam dunk at the Olympics, took to Twitter to voice her disapproval of the Steph-Kobe show.

"I love how Kobe has his wife with him at the Olympics, yet still surrounded by groupies," the 20-year-old tweeted.

"Some women need to get a grip ASAP!" "


Its clear that Steph has increased her grip since 2008 quite considerably, was it tennis balls that did it ?

I suppose it depends upon how big her hands are as to the chances of anyone else getting a grip.

How things can get blown out of proportion!
It is now reported by Craig Stevens (the former Aussie swimmer) who 'canned' Steph in order for his 15 minutes of fame, is apologising and wants to detract his accusations..

Ask the Opals players for confirmation - at least one of them busted Kobe leaving Steph's room in the very early hours of the morning first hand.

Horizontal Black Mamba'd.
