Video: Even Chris
Rock can't distract Kobe Bryant
(Source: Yahoo Sports)
Saying Kobe Bryant is focused is like saying tacos are delicious รข€” it's a major
understatement. To throw Kobe Bryant off his game you're going to need more
than trash talk, flying elbows or crowd noise. You're going to need one of the
funniest stand-up comedians of the past 20 years, someone who knows just what
to say to get under a person's skin. You need someone like Chris Rock, and even
then, results aren't guaranteed.
I've been laughing at that reveal since the moment it popped up on ABC's
broadcast. Kobe Bryant could sit through a hurricane if it happened during a
finals game.
Kobe summed up his mentality best in his postgame news conference, telling
ABC's Doris Burke that when he's playing basketball "nothing else matters."
Either he's a big Metallica fan, or he's intent on getting his fifth ring. Probably
both.
