After being asked about Michael Jordan’s comments on the 2012 team beating the Dream Team, Kobe told reporters, “So what? He knows I’m a bad mother [expletive]. I’m not really tripping.”

I am a fan of Kobe and I just became more of a fan.  Of course he is going to defend the 2012 team.  Just the same way that Jordan, Bird and Magic are going to defend the Dream Team.
