McGrady blasts Kobe for adultery
( 2003-08-08 09:34) (Msnbc)

Orlando Magic guard Tracy McGrady was sounding more like talk show host Dr. Laura Schlessinger as he weighed in on the Kobe Bryant soap opera.

Tracy McGrady
McGrady said he sympathizes with Bryant, but added that he should have known to avoid potentially bad situations. ¡°If you¡¯re married, stick with your wife,¡± McGrady said. ¡°He adds that players shouldn¡¯t do anything crazy that¡¯s going to cause problems at home.¡± 

Bryant is charged with felony sexual assault against a 19-year-old woman who was working at the Lodge & Spa at Cordillera when Bryant stayed at the exclusive resort hotel June 30. Bryant, who is free on $25,000 bond, has said the sex was consensual. McGrady said he hopes Bryant is found innocent.

¡°I hope he beats this and he can get back on the right track, stay focused and just concentrate on basketball.¡±

Bryant made his first court appearance Wednesday, uttering just two words during a seven-minute hearing that created a media frenzy in Eagle, Colo.

Attorneys for the 24-year-old Bryant waived his right to be formally advised of the felony assault charge, sparing the Los Angeles Lakers guard even more time in the granite-walled courtroom that was jammed with reporters.

Eagle County Judge Frederick Gannett set an Oct. 9 preliminary hearing to determine whether the closely watched case will go to trial. The hearing would be one day after a Lakers¡¯ preseason game and about three weeks before the start of the regular season.
