I can't even imagine the stress of trying to continually "feed the beast" to maintain a self-promotion machine in pursuit of fame. I would much rather be loved and respected for who I am than famous for who I am pretending to be.
Wow, that story about Kobe gives me chills. Thanks for sharing!
I would hate on Kobe too every now and again calling him a ball-hog. Then one day I saw an interview where he said, "I saw the work you put in during practice, that's why I'm not passing you the ball." Kobe deserved to take every last shot.
No such thing as bad press? Get victimized by an illegal arrest, aided and abetter by Big Brothers, Big Sisters, incompetence by cops and a truculent prosecutor, all conspiring together and tell me how it goes...

Nice piece Jared. Love the subtlety, IYKYK 👍
That Kobe story. Properly good people.
I believe what you are saying here is true. And things that are often promoted are usually not the top-tier stuff.
Really well done!
