Will be interesting. Where does it air again?

Damn, that's surprising. Simmons likes to shit on Kobe basically any chance he gets.

[Trollsmasher]

an hour of salt and bitterness
will give it a listen tho

Bryant could be trying to become an analyst after he retires. ESPN and TNT might even have a bidding war because he'd be great at it. Most interesting guy in the league when he's talking about the game.

Hopefully Kobe can keep his ego in check while on the air

This is an issue for many previous players, i.e. Shaq and his passive aggressive shots about how dominant he was occurring during TNT

Its sometimes hard to remain objective and discuss from a neutral perspective, and keep past biases aside when analysing basketball

[bigt]

Should be good, he has a great knowledge for the game and I reckon he'll be a really interesting analyst once he hangs it up for good. Plus we should get at least a little Laker/Celtic banter between him and Simmons

Jordan would never do this. Fax.

[Cocaine80s]

Kobe should replace Chuck on TNT after he leaves

[Springsteen]

Jordan would never do this. Fax.

You say that like it's a bad thing. I would cream my pants for a chance to have Kobe replacing Chuck's fat ass on TNT so him and Shaq can fire shots in a relaxed environment.
