Kobe Bryant may never be as lovable as he once was, when his killer crossover dribble was just as lethal as his enormous crossover appeal. When Fortune 500 companies and teenage girls fawned over his coverboy good looks and tremendous advertising appeal. When he smiled, cash registers everywhere chimed in delight. And when he stepped on a basketball court, brazen, brash and seemingly without blemishes, many believed the NBA calendar would mark his achievements like it does all of the legends. The timeline would read: The Celtic reign. The Magic-Bird Rivalry. The Jordan Phenomenon. The Kobe Era. Bryant had it, whatever it is. His quest for transcendence elevated him to unparalleled heights, while simultaneously driving him into a solitary place. He drove family members away and fostered resentment from teammates, which paled in comparison to the universal scorn he received from fans after a 2003 arrest and sexual-assault charge. Bryant's fall from grace played out nightly on the evening news. Once the criminal trial went away and the civil lawsuit was settled out of court, Bryant remained in the public eye and was vilified for allegedly driving Shaquille O'Neal to Miami and Phil Jackson into retirement. The inside stuff Thumbs up Proof that you can have your cake and eat it too, the undefeated Detroit Pistons (6-0) are still one of the top five defensive teams in the NBA, but they're also thriving in new coach Flip Saunders spread offense. They're fourth in the league with a 100.7 average, which is a seven-point increase from last season. Thumbs down Jerome James, who signed a $30 million deal with New York in July, is in coach Larry Brown's doghouse. The former Sonics center has played a total of 18 minutes, committed 10 fouls, collected five rebounds and scored four points in three games for the 0-5 Knicks. He has fallen from the rotation and has not played in the past two games. Game of the week L.A. Clippers at L.A. Lakers, Friday, 7:30 p.m. A little cross-town action here. Think of it as sibling rivalry, with the Clippers assuming the role of the little brother who finally seeks to emerge from the shadow of its extremely popular big brother. Only after suffering injuries to his knee and ankle did he momentarily fade into the shadows. He missed 16 games last season and missed the playoffs for the first time in his career. "I think more than anything, he missed being in the limelight in a positive way," former Lakers great Magic Johnson said. "There's nothing like the playoffs. Everybody watches you. And for the first time, he was sitting home watching everybody else." It's been a little more than two years since Bryant stood on the podium in downtown Los Angeles and celebrated the Los Angeles Lakers' third world championship. He is 27 now and into his 10th NBA season. He's reunited with Jackson, the man who described him in unflattering terms in the book "The Last Season." "Do I hold any hard feelings?" Bryant responded when asked by reporters in Los Angeles. "None whatsoever, none whatsoever. Forgive. Move on. We're all human beings. Who am I to sit up here and judge somebody? Life is too short to sit around and hold grudges; it doesn't make any sense to do it. "I've matured a great deal. Two or three years ago, would I have had the same response? Probably not. But you kind of just grow and take your bumps and bruises as you get older and realize life is too short to be holding grudges." There are few stories as compelling as the fallen hero who finds redemption. Bryant is attempting to pen a classic, and this season appears as if it will be his best ever. He has scored at least 33 points in four of Los Angeles' first six games and leads the NBA with a 31.8 scoring average. No one expects the Lakers to unseat San Antonio as NBA champions, but should Los Angeles qualify for the playoffs, it will be because of Bryant's indomitable will. "Any team that he's on has a chance to win every night because he's what, like one of the top five players in the world?" said Sam Cassell, who joined the cross-town rival Los Angeles Clippers this summer. "Some might say top three, but easily top five. So they might be down for a year, but two? Nah, I can't see it.' In the years since the Lakers last won the title, a new NBA has emerged. The past two champions won with teamwork, and their stars didn't shine as brightly as Bryant. Cleveland's LeBron James is the new NBA king of endorsements. Miami's Dwyane Wade is emerging as a mega-star, even being named one of People's 100 Most Beautiful People, a designation once given to Bryant. But Wall Street ad execs haven't completely forgotten about the Lakers star, and Bryant is quietly making his return as a pitchman. His association with Coca-Cola, McDonald's, Spalding and Nutella went away following his legal troubles, but Nike remained loyal after signing Bryant to a four-year, $45 million deal a month before his arrest. The company unveiled a controversial print campaign a year ago that listed criticisms such as "selfish," "overrated," "not a leader" and "a fluke," followed by his grueling training regimen. And early next year, Nike plans to roll out a new basketball shoe called Zoom Kobe I, which speaks to his popularity among the Gen-X crowd. "I think with Kobe, people get these ideas of who he is and what he's about without ever really knowing him," said Sonics forward Rashard Lewis, who along with Bryant and several NBA players participated in a Hurricane Katrina benefit game on Sept. 11. The players also visited Houston shelters filled with evacuees. "I had no idea that that he'd be there," Lewis said, "and I don't mean to say that it was a surprise to see him do something like that, but like I said, you get these ideas of people without ever really knowing them. "Kobe was cool. Down to Earth and just like everybody else... Real friendly and not like you'd expect." Although he's open and much more media-friendly than he ever was, the fiercely private Bryant remains cautious of outsiders and wants stories about him to focus on the court and nothing else. His feud with O'Neal is in the past until, well, their Christmas Day showdown. His tiff with Ray Allen is old news, and the squabbles with Jackson are over. Though still perceived as selfish and an egomaniac in some circles, the only taunts Bryant hears when he steps into an opponent's arena these days focus on the ridiculous black tights he wears beneath his shorts. Those insults are friendlier than what he used to receive, and proof that his basketball world is finally back to normal OVID - Nic Greenhoe succumbed to cancer on Friday, barely a week after realizing his dream of meeting NBA superstar Kobe Bryant. The 14-year-old Ovid boy battled bone cancer for more than two years, briefly beating the disease into remission. For most of that time, Nic - a budding basketball player before he became ill - hoped to meet Bryant, who's led the Los Angeles Lakers to three NBA titles. Advertisement After several misfires, the two finally met on Feb. 10 before the Lakers played the Detroit Pistons at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Bryant chatted with Nic and his family for about 15 minutes and gave the boy a pair of autographed basketball shoes. "I think he was hanging on for that. I really do," said Susan Viglianco, the mother of Nic's girlfriend, Dani, and a key player in arranging Bryant's visit. "It just seemed like after the game, he went downhill." Funeral services for Nic are planned for 10 a.m. Monday at Holy Family Catholic Church, 620 N. Mabbit Road in Ovid. "He doesn't want people to cry over him," Viglianco said. "He doesn't want anyone to cry. He had a big impact on a lot of people. He was a great inspiration to so many." The oldest of three siblings, Nic was a "sports nut" who loved to play and watch games, said his father, Dale. Nic never let cancer stop him. He loved hunting and riding all-terrain vehicles and snowmobiles. He also was an avid golfer. When Nic lost his left leg to cancer, he replaced it with a prosthetic limb that bears the image of Bryant's gold and purple No. 8 jersey. Nic continued to play for Ovid Middle School's eighth-grade team, even scoring two points. A point guard, he loved the Lakers' leader almost as much as the game itself. His fantasy: to play Bryant in a game of 1-on-1. "Now that will have to wait until Kobe gets to heaven," Dale Greenhoe said.
