Kobe Bryant was asked a tough question on 710 ESPN's "Max & Marcellus Show" on Wednesday:
If he could pick any player in the league to join him to create the sport's top duo, who would that player be?
His response: LeBron James.
"It's a tough question because I've played with a lot of great players being on the Olympic team," Bryant said. "I think that the player I would probably play with the most where the pieces would fit would be myself and LeBron [James], believe it or not, because he's more of a facilitator and I'm more of a scorer. ... He's a modern version of what Oscar [Robertson] was. He just puts up genius numbers."
