It’s hard to believe that it’s been nearly 5 years since charges were dismissed in the Kobe Bryant case.  And to me it’s not even a question of whether the rape happened or not.  It’s about the fact that most athletes are not who they seem.  Some athletes are crazy but appear nice on TV.  Some appear quiet but wind up on the covers of newspapers with strippers.

Kobe is no different.  And no matter how suave or GQ this guy appears to be, he’ll always have a mamba side to him.  And unfortunately we don’t get to see that side too often.

But here are five moments where you get a sense of Kobe just being Kobe.  When you get down to it, I think this is a guy who is definitely a little crazy, and definitely a little evil.

*Granted two of these videos are fake, but still, Kobe’s into wildness.
