Everyone heard Michael Jordan’s comments earlier this week when he decided to come out and say that if given the choice, he would take Kobe Bryant over LeBron James because of Kobe’s 5 rings. So perhaps it shouldn’t have been a surprise that Kobe was checking LeBron late during last night’s all-star game, when the intensity of the game usually rises.
Check out the videos courtesy of Beer Mug Sports, as Kobe turns up the defensive intensity and blocks LeBron twice down the stretch. Somewhere, I believe Michael Jordan chuckled after watching this.
