Kobe Bryant doesn’t typically sit down for touchy and personal interviews, but he did just that for “In Depth with Graham Bensinger” on Yahoo! Sports that aired early on Sunday. Among the topics discussed includes his ultra-sensitive rape case, his relationship with Phil Jackson, the inability to co-exist with Shaquille O’Neal, his destiny of becoming an NBA star and the possibility of his retirement at the age of 35.

Blake Griffin, the human highlight film 2.0, is no longer with Team USA due to his knee injury. This means other amazing athletes on the team will have to step up their dunking games for our pleasure, and LeBron James provided a glimpse of it during Saturday’s scrimmage.
