Kobe Bryant calls ESPN a ‘bunch of idiots’
Kobe Bryant doesn’t sugar coat things and in his 19th season in the NBA it’s doubtful he’s going to start. ESPN released their annual rankings of NBA players and named Bryant as the 40th best in the league. Hard to believe but according to the “worldwide leader in sports” there are 39 players better than Bryant playing right now.
Bryant gave his reaction to the ranking after an exhibition game against the Utah Jazz last night.

Although the Lakers say they don’t need motivation this can only add fuel to what looks to be in interesting season in purple and gold.
