An incredibly awkward four minutes

I like the Lakers. I like Hip Hop. I like Kobe Bryant.

I wish I could play for the Lakers, but I have no basketball skills. I would love to be a rap star, but my lyrical skills are amature at best. And let's face it folks, I am no Kobe. I can't exactly slam dunk a basketball.

In any case, since my love for Lakers-Hip Hop-Kobe is a well known fact, one would think I would love the following clip. Just to recap it for you, this is Kobe Bryant featuring Tyra Banks. Someone gave Kobe a microphone and put on some hip hop beats. Somehow Tyra shows up.

What follows is the most awkward moment of my life, 10 times more awkward than the time I peed my pants in 8th grade and had to wear my PE shorts for the rest of the day (which no one does unless you pee your pants)




Apparently Shaq was so jealous of how lame this was, that he could not let Kobe have all the fun.

Shaq's response:




Jesus Christ guys. Stick to basketball. Thanks.

And yes Shaq, you are quite outstanding. And modest.
