Kobe on the team's viewing of "Lincoln": "I don't know if the guys knew who he was ... It came as a big shock to them when he was killed"

Half the team is foreign and the other half never took a test by themselves after the 8th grade. I am not surprised in the least.

The entire team is American outside of Gasol and Steve Nash.

Sorry, 1/7 of the team is not American, the other 6/7th's never took a test by themselves after the 8th grade.

Kobe and Nash are probably smarter than 90% of the population, and I'm pretty sure Kobe was fucking around when he said that.

Well I meant to say 80, but my point still stands. I'm basing it on hearing 15 years worth of interviews from them, Kobe having a very high SAT score iirc, him speaking I believe 3 or 4 languages fluently, and the fact that it's beyond obvious that neither are stupid.

I will give you 80%. The rest of the team is basically a bunch of dim bulbs. I have no doubt that Kobe was being serious in his comments.

No doubt Howard and Artest are goofs. I have no reason to believe guys like Jamison, Gasol, Blake, Duhon, etc are idiots though. And you have to be extremely damn stupid to not know who Abraham Lincoln was.

In a society where TV news reports on the exploits of subhumans on Jersey Shore and Honey-boo-boo like they are movie stars,nothing surprises me.

The kid entered the NBA draft at 18 and was basically raised to be an NBA player. While I dont think he is country stupid, as he learned 2 other languages while overseas and he has learned some good business skills over the years, but I have a feeling that if Kobe was on Jeopardy v some Junior High Schoolers from Glencoe, he loses his ass!

Street sweepers in Europe usually speak at least two languages. Everyone knows his native language and usually English. If French, Spanish or Italian is your native tongue the other two are pretty easy for gaining fluency.

I don't think Kobe is dumb.

There are a lot of very smart people that make mistakes thinking with the wrong head on a daily basis.

The Lakers saw the movie "Lincoln" together Thursday evening, a film that elicited mixed reactions from the players.

Tweeted Pau Gasol: "We've watched "Lincoln"! Very good movie! It describes one of the most important moments in the history of the USA. Highly recommended!"

Jordan Hill was not as impressed.

"I fell asleep 8 times," he tweeted.
