Dave Perkins of thestar.com asks:

“So what happens if Woods comes back the way Bryant, ultimately, has come back? What if he figures: screw you, I’ll never be what I was before all this hit. But I can still show you all how good I’m going to be.

“Bryant is not the lovable, smiling pitchman any more – if he ever was. He’s kind of a cold-faced assassin, backbone of last year’s championship Lakers team, the guy in whose hands everybody knows the ball is going to be at crunch time. And he still comes through, then acts as if it’s no big deal.”

Perkins could be onto something here. Woods’ situation and his status as best player are very similar to Kobe’s – and so is Woods’ attitude.

So is it only a matter of time before Woods is dominating his sport again in the same way Kobe is dominating his – so long after he was declared the most sinful player in the world?
