In case you hadn’t heard, Stephen Jackson got like five fouls in the first ten minutes of a game against the Lakers and it turns out it was a direct result of his matchup with Kobe Bryant.

Jackson found himself emotionally charged over the battle with the superstar shooting guard and apparently reacted violently because he felt like he was on an island against Bryant.

“Nobody reacted but me, so the team didn’t have a reaction,” Jackson said after practice Wednesday. “It was only me standing up for myself. I don’t think anybody else stood up for me.

Apparently, Jackson wanted or needed some help given the physical nature of play that ensued between he and Bryant. in that short time span. The former Pacer and Spur continue his rant, arguing that he too should be consider the best player in the league.

“I’m not a fan of Kobe. I’m not somebody who looks up to him,” Jackson said. “I’m a grown man, so when I go out there and play the game, I play the game. I feel like I’m just as good as him. I might not get the publicity or the notoriety he gets, but I feel like I can play with anybody in the NBA.”

Well, he may be as good as Kobe in his own mind, but stats don’t prove it and neither does the following clip.

WATCH JACKSON GET CROSSED UP

Kobe Bryant took part in a little extra curricular activity during his basketball camp when he played a 14 year old in a game of 1 on 1. Unsurprisingly, he took the kid 5-0 and after the game there was a little banter.

The kid appears to offer that had Bryant played him at Lebron’s camp there would have  been a different outcome and Bryant responds by saying: “I’ll tell you one thing. You ain’t dunkin’ on me at my camp!”

His comment stems from a story last week that has already become somewhat of a legend. Lebron James was playing pickup at his own camp when a sophomore from Xavier dunked on him.

Players and coaches were quoted as saying it was “bad,” among other things, but no one will ever know how bad, as Lebron had camp officials confiscate the tape.

Jordan Towers Films and Bay Area rapper Mistah Fab caught up with the newest Los Angeles Laker Ron Artest. The controversial forward admitted to being just that, suggesting that his and Kobe’s egos will mesh like the perfect peanut butter & jelly sandwich.

Per an introduction from the MVP of the 2009 NBA Finals, Lil Wayne performs his ode to Kobe Bryant in front of a sea of Lakers fanatics.

Kobe finally made it back home and is still in celebration mode. Purple and gold confetti falls from up above as he soaks in the moment of winning his fourth “chamyunship ring.” Meanwhile, a somber Lebron, who’s been pumping iron, babysitting Lil Dez and visualizing 2010, still can’t believe it’s not him parading around the house in victory!!
