Kobe Bryant is an idiot

Never been a fan of Kobe, both professionally and personally.  The other day he made a ridiculous claim that the current USA Team could beat the 1992 Dream Team.  Magic, Scottie, Charles and MJ all made comments back about how that statement was ludicrous and the 1992 Dream Team would wipe the floor with the current squad.  Lots of good comments back and forth, but my favorite had to be from Larry Bird via Indiana Pacers media:

 
Classic.

Bryant's actual quote, "Well, just from a basketball standpoint, they obviously have a lot more size than we do — you know, with (David) Robinson and (Patrick) Ewing and (Karl) Malone and those guys,” Bryant told Yahoo Sports at Team USA’s training camp in Las Vegas earlier this week. “But they were also — some of those wing players — were also a lot older, at kind of the end of their careers. We have just a bunch of young racehorses, guys that are eager to compete.  So I don’t know. It’d be a tough one, but I think we’d pull it out."

Jordan had a great response, "I absolutely laughed.  Most of us were in the prime of our careers, at a point where athleticisim doesn’t really matter. You have to know how to play the game."  Kobe is 34, Jordan was 29 at the time.  Jordan concluded, "I’d like to think that we had 11 Hall of Famers on that team and whenever they get 11 Hall of Famers you call and ask me who had the better Dream Team. Remember now, they learned from us. We didn’t learn from them."
