MTV Shows

MTV's Sway asked Kobe Bryant to talk about Michael Jackson's impact on his life, and the Lakers star's response was actually far more personal and insightful than one might expect.

Bryant said he and Jackson had numerous conversations both by phone and in person, each speaking about the work ethic and dedication necessary to be on top of their respective crafts.

"He was extremely inspirational for me on a personal level because he helped me to understand it was OK to be different," Bryant said. "When I say different, I mean different in the sense of being obsessed with your craft, paying attention to the details, and working your tail off day in and day out and being consumed with what you do. He made me feel it was OK to be that way and helped mentor me in that department."

Lebron wins the award for Best Athelete. I'm sure he'll place this award next to the MVP he won this year. He thanks Michael for all his contributions to music and to basketball? Everyone is trying to figure out what Michael Jackson did for basketball. Someone should whisper in his ear that he's got the wrong MJ.
That's weird
