Everyone made the same joke about Kobe Bryant winning an Oscar
Kobe Bryant won an Oscar on Sunday night for Best Animated Short Film, and the sports world loved it. Actually, many had the exact same reaction to Bean taking home his first Academy Award.
You can guess where all the jokes went — and of course, they were a nod to Bryant’s competitive spirit.
How many Oscars Shaq got though?

Kobe more Oscar wins than LeBron and Jordan combined

I assume Kobe said: "If memory serves, I never saw Michael up here."

In Kobe Bryant’s head he’s just thinking: “I’VE GOT MORE OSCARS THAN JORDAN!!!”

Something else LeBron can't do

"Yeah LeBron is good. But he could have NEVER won an Oscar on his first try!!!" Someone screaming about sports on your TV tomorrow, probably.

Five NBA championships AND an Oscar. Hard to beat that combination.
