VIDEO: Lakers Fan Posts Kobe’s Response To Bill Simmons’ LeBron Rant

His point may be a valid one, but this one line is sure to not sit well with Kobe fans:

Nevertheless, while fans could appreciate James more, they can also serve not to forget arguably the greatest player of this generation, and that is Kobe Bryant.
