The Kobe Tape Is Almost Here!!!!

The Kobe video is almost here!!! I honestly can't contain my excitement. I can't remember when I looked forward to something as much as this. Maybe Game 3 of the ALCS Pedro vs. Clemens....Maybe? In case you've been living in a cave, I'm obviously talking about the most famous 24 second video clip in the history of mankind. Essentially two dudes overheard Kobe talking about how he wished the Lakers traded Andrew Bynum for Jason Kidd and they whipped out their digital camera and taped the whole thing.

SPOILER ALERT - The exact transcript is below. If you don't want to ruin this video than please don't read it. Courtesy of SI.com.

"Andrew Bynum? What the f---?" Bryant says in disgust. "Are you kidding me? Andrew Bynum? F---ing ship his ass out. Are you kidding me? We're talking about Jason Kidd. But they didn't even want to do that. Now we're here in this f---ed up position."

The tandem then asked Bryant what he thought about Bynum's potential. Bryant smiled and started to shake his head as if he was about to go on another tirade.

"You know what man? Let me tell you something. Mitch Kupchak had the nerve to ask me..."

At this point the 24-second video clip ends abruptly sort of like the ending of the Sopranos only much, much better. Now fans across the country, world and universe are left to wonder what did Kobe say next. Did he say Smush Parker was expendable? Did he say Luke Walton is overrated? I guess we'll never know, but that's kind of the brilliance of this video.

Anyway, how much is this masterpiece going to cost people to watch? Brace yourself now... It only costs $1.99. That's not a misprint folks! One dollar and 99 cents and you can watch the drama unfold right on your computer screen. 24 seconds of glory for a $1.99. God Bless America!
