Lakers vs. Celtics Showdown

Here's an interview I found featuring the Lakers leader Kobe Bryant. In this interview he answers questions of last summer, his desire to get traded from the Lakers, being compared to Michael Jordan, and his plans and mentality for the finals.

Jackass + Kobe = Awesome!

This is a video of the guys from Jackass with Kobe Bryant playing with a pool full of snakes.

Jordan vs. Kobe

The All-star game in 1998 featured a fun match-up between the great Micheal Jordan vs. the recently great Kobe Bryant.

I think people forget these two actually went head-to-head. I hear a lot of people claim Kobe is better than Jordan, but honestly, I think their memory has faded. You can watch these 2 clips of both of these guys going at it.

Now you can argue that Kobe was still new and fresh against a seasoned star as Jordan, but the same arguement can be said about Jordan being on the downside of his pinnacle.

I think the fact that Jordan is the best basketball player ever will always stand even against today's greats such as Kobe, Dirk, LeBron, Durrant, and all the others stars.
