Kobe Bryant Shows Off Passing Ability On ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live"

Lakers G Kobe Bryant appeared on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” last night and discussed the Lakers' poor start to the season and Dennis Rodman's recent visit to North Korea. Host Jimmy Kimmel said of the Lakers' season, "I have a theory about this and that is you have intentionally done this so that you can come from behind, squeak into the playoffs and complete the greatest NBA run in the history of basketball.” Bryant said, “I mean, it's Los Angeles. What's a Laker team in L.A. without drama?” 

Kimmel asked, “You played with Dennis Rodman for a short time. Do you think he is the solution to our problem with North Korea?” Bryant: “It's a crazy world, man. You never know.” Kimmel said, “Would you go over there and focus on stopping this potential nuclear warhead that could come over? That seems more important than the game.” Bryant replied, “I'd probably pass.” Kimmel said, “You would pass on that one? Oh, for once you're passing” (“Jimmy Kimmel Live,” ABC, 3/7).
