Imagine how much cred you get at any party with "I played point guard next to
Kobe Bryantin high school." Now imagine trying to see if Kobe Bryant in any way remembered you.
The 700 Level on CSNPhilly put together this flick, which features Kobe's old point guard at Lower Marion High School in Philadelphia trying to track down the man himself. It is, quite simply, incredibly hilarious.
Couple of things:
1. I love how
Metta World Peace instantly remembers the point guards he played with in high school and
Nick Young is like "Uhhh...."
2. Kobe is incredibly gracious there, and plays along for the camera, which is really nice.
3. How did so many people from one high school class randomly show up at this
Lakersgame? CSN had to have set that up, right? Because otherwise how would they have known they were there?
4. I would have liked to have seen more discussion of what Kobe was like as a player in high school and what it was like trying to play point guard for such a brash and demanding player.
Overall a terrific segment that hit just the right tone on all ends.
