Do You Think Kobe Ate Cow Tongue Or Ranked Him vs. LeBron vs Jordan?
Now this is how you do an interview. You essentially force the person to answer a question that everyone is waiting for the answer or you force them to eat something disgusting. Going to jot this routine down for my next interview. Let’s see what happens then.
This is also just so perfectly on brand for Kobe. He’s aware of the argument. He’s also an egomaniac as most professional athletes are. He wants to be the best. That’s why he answers it that way. He knows what he’s doing here. He’s trying for an out because everyone will just say this is Kobe being Kobe. Mamba mentality.
I’ll give Kobe the A+ on the theatrics. There’s no way he wasn’t going to answer this question. There’s no way he was going to eat cow tongue. Now, the sound bite is obviously him saying LeBron is 3rd. I’m sure that won’t be played at all in Los Angeles.
The GOAT debate always cracks me up. It’s such a dumb and awesome argument. There’s no real proof as to who is better than who during different eras but we spend all day arguing it.
I’m just glad Kobe gave us the answer. Way better content than eating cow tongue.
