Kyrie Irving challenged Kobe Bryant to a game of 1-on-1 after a USA Basketball team training session, and it was pretty great. Kyrie mentioned that Kobe wanted 50k for the challenge of which we could give to charity. The back and forth banter following the challenge is great, and Kyrie keeps up for a while with the veteran. Highlight of the trash talk was when Kyrie asked Kobe, “You think you’re playing Lil Bow Wow?” Kobe responded in turn, “You’re about the same size.”
