Came across this great video of 'Identical Plays' featuring Michael Jordan and Kobe Byrant.

For much of his career, Kobe Bryant was the only player Los Angeles Lakers’ fans wanted to see with the ball in the fourth quarter of close games. But age has caught up to the 33-year-old, and the Laker faithful have begun to bemoan Kobe’s late game ball-hogging ways. In short, he’s no longer the Kobe that they used to know.

Basketball star Kobe Bryant’s wife, Vanessa, steadfastly stood by his side during the 2003 scandal in which he was accused of raping a 19-year-old Colorado resort employee.

Athletes are always looking for an edge in their game, and the latest craze has both pro and amateur players taking a dip inside nitrogen-chilling metal chambers as part of what’s called “cryotherapy treatment.” According to the Los Angeles Times, this form of therapy speeds muscle recovery and reduces inflammation after workouts or surgery.

The unidentified man was treated at a nearby hospital for his injury.

Is Kobe really going to leave us? It’s entirely possible. After Deron Williams agreed to play for Turkish club Besiktas if the NBA lockout continues, other NBA stars have begun to reconsider their options, with superstar Dwight Howard leading a class of players who are reportedly looking into options overseas. But now Kobe Bryant has emerged as the biggest star mulling a move.
