If given the chance, would YOU kill Raja Bell?
>> Monday
Ahh, blessed shock value. Both this story's second sentence and its one-sentence synopsis on the homepage mention Raja Bell's encounter with "death threats."
Now come on; I know Raja Bell layed a pretty cheap shot on one of basketball's biggest stars, but how could anyone--Raja included--take seriously the idea that someone would literally murder him for it.
Consider that a hit on Raja Bell would require...
1) Someone who is deranged enough to murder another human being
2) Someone who is deranged enough to murder another human being and who is also a Laker fan
3) Someone who is deranged enough to murder another human being and who is also a Laker fan that really, really loves Kobe Bryant
4) Someone who is deranged enough to murder another human being and who is also a Laker fan that really, really loves Kobe Bryant and who would choose defending the honor of his favorite basketball player as the outlet for his or her derangement
5) Someone who is deranged enough to murder another human being and who is also a Laker fan that really, really loves Kobe Bryant and who would choose defending the honor of his favorite basketball player as the outlet for his or her derangement and who is also crafty enough to find Raja Bell and do so in a location conducive to homocide.
When one considers the targets of all the unfulfilled death threats in the history of sport (e.g. officials who made awful calls, World Cup and Olympic goats, guys who may or may not have raped young women from Colorado), simply broaching the subject is laughable--especially when put on such high emphasis.
Death threats on Raja Bell? I think that's less plausible than that terrible DeNiro movie The Fan. (Sorry, I had to.)
