A couple of nights ago I caught an interview with Kobe Bryant. With all the bad publicity that pro athletes get and the perception of the 'Dumb Jock' stereotype, this was a welcome view of one who didn't make it through school just because he was needed by the team. His responses and comments were not riddled with the use of 'like' or 'you know' 29 times in a sentence. A clip was shown with Kobe talking to the Italian press with out a translator. It was also mentioned that he speaks Spanish.
I am sure he is not unique among pro athletes, just that this type of story/human interest "doesn't sell papers".
