Man found some rare video of Jelly Bean dunking on a Laker legend pretty vicious. Old man Bryant had some bounce. Thoughts?

I watched that game that day....not too many dudes got Kareem like that. Kareem had the last laugh though, winning hook shot to win at buzzer. Joe could always get up though.

Then Jellybean wouldn't have been Jellybean, and Kobe might not have been Kobe.

Joe Bryant might not be a killer, but he possessed a different quality: the capacity for nearly unconditional love. He gave his son freedom and constant support when he was young, sitting with the boy and breaking down Magic's dribble drive and Larry Bird's drop step on the VHS NBA tapes that Kobe's grandparents shipped from the States. Joe rebounded countless shots, played hundreds of games of one-on-one against his son, some so physical that Pam had to break them up. He taught Kobe to delight in the game yet never back down from another man.

Most important, Joe was always there: not only in Italy but also at Lower Merion High outside Philadelphia, where he was a jayvee coach while Kobe was a student, and in Los Angeles, where he helped with Kobe's transition to the Lakers. During Kobe's first years in the NBA, he had few friends and an icy relationship with his teammates, but he always had his dad. Joe was the one who taught him to be his own man, who gave him freedom to make his own choices, at least when it came to basketball. He was the anti-Marv Marinovich, empowering rather than dictatorial, encouraging his son to dream grand dreams.

Perhaps, then, the same qualities that kept Joe from reaching his potential as a player are what allowed him to be a superb father, one who instilled what he could not pass down. After all, how does a child -- any child -- gain tremendous confidence? When Kobe opted for the pros instead of college, Pam told The Sporting News, "We're always going to support him. That's what we always do."

Dayum, that's killer.

Guys looked so huge in broadcasts from that era. Is it just the camera position or what?
