Embrace debate or eat a cow tongue.
Bryant smartly opted to do the reasonable thing and say that he was better than Michael Jordan and LeBron James. It’s not true of course, but he can be forgiven considering the circumstances.
Given all we know about Kobe, this is totally out of character and he was feeling bullied. Otherwise, he would have admitted the obvious: that he lags far behind the others.
