Fuck Yea[h] NBA

Kobe Bryant thinks the most complementary player for his game would be LeBron James. I completely agree with Kobe’s statements. Via ESPN Los Angeles:

“When pressed and asked if he would rather play with Orlando’s Dwight Howard or New Jersey’s Deron Williams, two players who have been linked to dozens of trade rumors this season, Bryant played along.

‘Give me both, how about that?’ Bryant said with a laugh. ave been linked to dozens of trade rumors this season, Bryant played along.

He also offered an answer that would be surprising to some when he was told he could pick any player in the league to join him to create the sport’s top duo.ave been linked to dozens of trade rumors this season, Bryant played along.

‘It’s a tough question because I’ve played with a lot of great players being on the Olympic team,’ Bryant said. ‘I think that the player I would probably play with the most where the pieces would fit would be myself and LeBron [James], believe it or not, because he’s more of a facilitator and I’m more of a scorer. … He’s a modern version of what Oscar [Robertson] was. He just puts up genius numbers.’”

This comes after everyone listened to (blogging superstar) Bill Simmons’ podcast with Larry Bird. Bird said he’d prefer to play with Kobe [over anyone else], but playing with LeBron would be like playing with Bill Walton; it’s more fun.
