I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to Johnny “Irish Kobe” O’Bryant. In a prior video, I foolishly re-appropriated his well-earned nickname, furnishing it instead on the unworthy Pat Connaughton. I figured, hey, Johnny isn’t using it, so why not give it to someone who could do something with it? Boobery. Utter boobery on my part. O’Bryant is the rightful owner of the nickname, and though I bestowed it upon his being, I do not have the power to take it away from him.
I’d also like to apologize for the fact that the thumbnail for this vid sucks, but there really weren’t any other options. Believe me, I looked.
Irish Kobe, angry at my misuse of his moniker, had his best game as a pro, hitting a whole bunch of jumpers that probably fooled a bunch of Kings fans and maybe even the Kings themselves into thinking he’s good or something. He’s not, well, I guess he’s okay, but this is way out of the norm for him. I guess it’s good that he’s positioning himself as a stretch big because his inside game is pretty wack. His legs are just too big to allow him to do anything with them.
