Kobe Bryant's New Image

Paper Summary:

Utilizing theories for and against symbolic interactionism, this paper looks at the similarities and differences in which Bryant's experience has altered his image, not only as a basketball player, but also mainly as an individual interacting with his society.

From the Paper:

"After cases of sexual assault and molestation had been charged against Bryant, he had undergone transforming his image to a more positive one. Mainly a man who is athletic and preoccupied with his sport and profession, Bryant gradually became family-and God-centered, focusing his time with his family apart from playing professional basketball. To illustrate his conversion to being a "good" man, Bryant had his wife and daughters' names, an angel halo and Psalm's Scripture 27 tattooed on both his arms. Furthermore, he bought his wife a $4 million diamond ring and has become a staunch believer, even messenger, of God's good news, since his teammates claim that Bryant often talks about God."
