Kobe Bryant witty?

In a recent article from Yahoo Sports by Beth Harris, she calls Kobe Bryant "witty" for exclaiming "Go Yankees" when asked about criticism from Curt Schilling. How is that witty? My dog could come up with something more witty to say than that. Are we holding professional athletes to that low of an intellectual standard?

Update:

Tim - I understand he was trying to be witty, but he failed. Yes, Curt plays for the (World Champion, first place) Red Sox and thier rivals are the (last place) Yankees so "Go Yankees" is really original.

So maybe my dog couldn't come up with something more witty (he can't talk after-all), but a 5-year old sure could.

David B - Please! Kobe has a long history of criticising teammates, other players, coaches, owners, the media, so don't make excuses for him saying he was just trying not to criticize another athlete.

    Apparently Kobe and Lebron root for the same team.

    Kobe must be a bandwagoner too!

    How's that for wit?

    Sounds like you must be a Boston fan! I think you're missing the point. Kobe didn't want to critisize another athlete. If Schilling could pitch as well as he can put down other athletes, he wouldn't have to put red paint on his sock. (Think about it.) Schilling needs to watch "The Natural" a few more times, maybe it will make him play better. You know that is where he got the blood on the uniform bit. LOL!

    Seth, what other athlete has Kobe criticized, besides Shaq, which technically doesn't count because he was a teamate. Sounds like you're just bitter that the Celtics don't have a Kobe Bryant. It's funny, the Celtics need 3 superstars to get to the finals, however the Lakers only needed one. I'm sorry to say, but that is all the Lakers will need to win the finals too.

    I agree. Sadly, some athletes don't have much intellect and can only hurl insults or curse words when challenged. Either that or they turn to the easy "sex" related insults or something just as tired and innane.

    lol, I started laughing when i heard that he said that.

    But seriously people have to calm down they are acting as though he ha murdered someone.

    People think that all athletes especially basketball players are dumb. While most dont seem to get the fact that over half of them HAVE gone to college

    Just because you don't understand why it's a witty comment, doesn't make it not witty.

    ...hmm I wonder if you can even understand a double negative...

    He wasn't trying to have a monumental witty moment. It was just a SIMPLE COMMENT that also happened to be a little smart ***...
