Kobe Bryant Discusses New Documentary On "Jimmy Kimmel Live"

Lakers G Kobe Bryant appeared on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” last night and talked about the Lakers' record and the upcoming documentary about him. Bryant said of his team's record, “It’s hard to be in that environment when we’re literally at the bottom of the league.” ABC's Jimmy Kimmel: “You’re welcome to come hang out here.” Showtime will air a documentary on Bryant Saturday night, and Kimmel said, “I heard you’re still working on it.” Bryant: “We’re still finishing it. It’s such a personal film that we’re all perfectionists, everybody that’s working on the film.” Kimmel noted, “You’re always shooting.” Bryant said laughing, “I will never stop shooting.”

The interview later featured questions from fans via satellite and one fan asked Bryant who he would build a team around besides himself. Bryant replied, “James Harden drinks BodyArmor so that’s the team I start with.” Bryant is a minority owner of BodyArmor. Another fan asked if he would trade the Clippers to St. Louis for the Rams. Bryant: “I like the new management that the Clippers have put in place. Before that, I’d trade the Clippers for a bag of peanuts” (“Jimmy Kimmel Live,” ABC, 2/23).
