Honestly, I thought Thou knew it was comedy but was commenting on Bryant nonetheless.
Kobe is going to ride on coattails and like it if he wants more rings.

David Stern's decision leaves Lakers in disarray
This was not a Lakers team that had been reprimanded. This was a Lakers team that had been rolled.
Judging from the surreal scene at the Lakers' first practice Friday, the NBA's weak-kneed commissioner, David Stern, did more than just veto their trade for New Orleans star Chris Paul.
He vetoed their strong sense of team, their legendary sense of calm, and even, briefly, Metta World Peace's sense of humor.
"I heard what happened, but I'm still lost on the situation," he said, shaking his head.
Despite sweating together for more than four hours at the Toyota Center in the first focused team activity in eight months, the Lakers all seemed lost, some of them literally.
Pau Gasol, one of the two Lakers supposedly traded, showed up and then walked out.
Lamar Odom, the other Laker supposedly traded, showed up late and then walked out.
There were only nine players on the floor to being a practice that could not be completed without dudes from the D-League.
"It was kind of crazy," Andrew Bynum said. "We were making up drills."
By the time that practice ended, some of the players were not only sweat-stained, but glassy eyed and confused, with the only absolute truth reportedly being uttered by General Manager Mitch Kupchak to the team in a morning meeting.
"He said it was an awkward moment," Bynum said.
The awkwardness was caused, of course, by Stern, who committed treason against the office of commissioner by killing Thursday night's deal in which the Lakers used Odom and Gasol to acquire Paul, a point guard who would give them the backcourt speed and athleticism they have long craved.
Was it a good deal? No. I had written an entire column ripping the deal before Stern canceled the trade and killed the story.
