Think Kobe Bryant Knows Who Jeremy Lin Now?

Though the rest of the NBA has been quickly learning of Jeremy Lin’s great heroics through an array of national headlines this past week, the Lakers’ Kobe Bryant claimed not to have heard much of the Knicks’ up and comer.

Having even comically dismissed the notion that he may in fact have to guard Lin, Bryant seemed to be a bit too cocky, even for his own good.

A Knickerbocker win and 38 points later, think Bryant will remember who Jeremy Lin is the next time he comes to town?

I'd hope so. For his sake.
