What Does Kobe Think of His Digital Doppelganger?

Yesterday we discussed the new-and-improved digital version of Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant which will appear on NBA 2K10 (set to arrive October 6); here is what the Lakers star told the L.A. Times about the game. When asked if he plays video games now, Bryant answered, “During the season, [Lakers guard] Jordan Farmar brings the Xbox [260] along. The guys hook it up to the TV, and we compete. I have a lot of responsibilities making sure the team functions, so most of my time is spent doing my homework. But every once in a while I get to play.”

When asked what he thinks of his NBA 2K10 character, Bryant said, “The same way I think of all the other characters. I think the detail in them is just fascinating. You can look at the characters and tell who’s who just by their body movements, their facial expressions, their profiles, before you even look at their numbers. It’s remarkable the attention to detail. You see the ball go through the net, and you see how the net reacts to it. Just little things like that. I pay attention to those things because I love the game so much. The ball goes through and swooshes the net. I love that.”
