i believe it's one of 2 scenario's....
1) kobe's wife cooked this up because she loves drama and attention and knew that no matter how outrageous it might seem, kobe would have to have her back. if he didn't, she could probably just divorce him and take half of everything he has++ after all the court stuff from the last couple years. and this is how far kobe will go to keep that from happening.
2) malone's agent cooked up the part about him leaving because of issues with kobe to free him from looking lame when he signed for more money with an actual contender after he'd been saying he'd play for the lakers so long. kobessa launched the neurotic pass on her at an actual game story in an attempt to get everyone to stop saying "kobe is a guy that keeps running hall of famers out of town." and start saying "how could that mean old man do such a thing?!"
i'm inclined to believe #1
i've been watching malone for 20 years now. i know he wouldn't be stupid enough to hit on a players wife right in the middle of an arena while a game's on. he has absolutely no history for anything like that. if you put his cowboy hat and some country music blasting in the backround, you can find a suitably cozy context of just joshin' that was meant and if you put some opera music and prude snootiness behind kobessa, you can see how they took his jokes out of context and in offededness. i know... offendedness isn't a word.
