This is not ingenous of kobe, this has been done for a long time.

This is ingenous of Kobe…the refs have no idea what he’s saying and he very well could be saying it with a smile on his face. I’m loving that.

You can’t give a guy a tech because he’s speaking a different language…that would open up another very unflattering door for the already embattled refs.

My question is if Kobe already know Spanish, I could give him a list of curses in Spanish that would apply. He wouldn’t have to learn Serbia.

Ginobli, Nocioni, Oberto, Bogut, Mbenga, Barbosa, Varejo, Mutombo, Yao Ming, Nowitzki, Parker, Turiaf, and any other players who speak another language other than English. That is not being smart that is just the way it is.

I agree Kobe is the smartest player in the league, but this article has nothing to do with that…

This will no doubt, benefit Kobe immensely, in the long run, and for the big picture...

He is very smart and speaks several languages. Kobe is the most talented player in the league and individually the best player in the league but I don't think he is the smartest player in the league... that i would have to give to J. Kidd and a few other point guards... BTW Kobe should be careful even in cussing in another language because if a ref knows a few words in that language i wouldn't be surprised if he got a T. If kobe was TRULY SMART he would leave the refs alone until the PO because the Lakers need him.

According to shaq, Kobe got 1300 on his SATs, are somewhere around there. He know 3 languages: English, Italian, & Spanish.

This is unrelated to Kobe, but I heard that David Robinson was very smart too.
