From fellow NBA superstars Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and LeBron James to skateboarding legends, Eric Koston, the video represents nearly every sport you could think of.

“Killer instinct.” “Agressive.” “Tenacious.”
However, it was Kevin Durant who had the most memorable responses saying, “He pissed me off a lot,” and that the one word he would use to describe Kobe is “a**hole.”
