Kobe isn’t close to me: Michael Jordan

Kobe Bryant is wearing a lot of red, white and blue while playing for Team USA as the team heads into the Olympics. The Lakers star also must feel he’s wearing a big red and while target on his back as well.

Bryant has long been a target for criticism from the media and fans alike. Sometimes even by his peers. Lately, though, the arrows possess some sting.

First Boston’s Paul Pierce said he, not Kobe or anyone else, is the “best player in the world.” Now, Michael Jordan joined the fray, saying he would best Bryant if he were in his prime. Someone caught the former Bulls superstar dissing Bryant at a camp.
