Kobe Wan Kenobi, haha. I was checking out ESPN.com today when they had an article about a contest in which you could come up with a nickname for the Laker shooting guard. The Star Wars-themed nickname got the highest amount of votes, 5,586 as opposed to 152 votes for Kobe Stake Through the Heart Bryant (WEEEAAK sauce). Personally, I like the Jedi name better...since it's well, Jedi-ish. The entire nickname is actually Kobe Wan Kenobi Bryant, but that's too long even by George Lucas' standards . Anyways, here are top-10 nicknames for Michael Jordan's heir:
