Stephen A. Smith Tells Great Kobe Bryant Story During Howard Stern Interview
By Liam McKeone

Stephen A. Smith went on Howard Stern's show this morning and talked about Kobe Bryant. In a somewhat shocking admission Smith told the audience and Stern that Kobe "scared the shit" out of him because he was a basketball savant and would not hesitate to call the ESPN analyst when he thought he got something wrong.
Smith then gave a blow-by-blow retelling of what a phone call with Kobe Bryant was like. It was tremendous.

Great stuff. Given the type of person Kobe was those phone calls probably happened a lot.
