So amongst all the years of speculation and denial on Kobe Bryant's part of wanting to be the "next " Michael Jordan, Kobe's teammate Lamar Odom admits it for him...
well, in so many words. He says he wants to be better than him.
magazine...we found it scrolling the internet, but it's the one time you should buy Playboy for the articles! hehehe
Spanning everything from learning the game in New York City to his controversial college career to his first couple years in the League,
L.O. is brutally honest in everything he discusses. So much so that when he’s asked what would happen if a sex tape of him and his wife
Khloé Kardashian leaked out he responds, “We wouldn’t have anything to be ashamed about.”
But amidst all the stories, there’s one that we though you'd appreciate the most...Kobe Bean Bryant:
Playboy: Bryant has a reputation for being volatile and critical. Did you have to learn to deal with it?
LO: I respected it. After a short period I understood that Kobe’s trying to accomplish what most people would be scared to even admit.
Playboy: And what’s that?
LO: He wants to be better than Michael Jordan. Most people would be scared to admit that because that guy was that good and did that much. So you have to understand that what Kobe’s trying to get as a basketball player and what it takes to get there, a lot of us don’t even have the gall, the balls, the will. If you walk into a barbershop right now you can start that argument. He’s doing those things to start that argument.
