Robert Sacre and Ryan Kelly do not sound confident that beating Kobe at anything is possible.
Kobe Bryant is not only one of the best players in Los Angeles Lakers history, but NBA history as well. However, the 37-year old guard/forward has struggled a fair amount in his 20th NBA season, posting the easily the worst field goal percentage of his career while shooting 35% from the field during the 2015-16 season. Bryant is additionally battling injuries to his surgical repaired shoulder and right Achilles tendon.
Despite these issues, Bryant (who is still far and away the leader in All-Star votes as of the second voting returns) is one of the best basketball players to ever play the game, leaving very few NBA players willing to publicly challenge him to a battle on the court out of deference to his illustrious career.
