LeBron James is one of the best basketball players of all-time,
and enjoys a healthy rivalry with fellow NBA Hall-of-Fame lock Kobe
Bryant.
They've battled in the NBA, and at the All-Star Game. But it was
another Kobe getting the better of the Miami Heat superstar this week. Because 15-year-old Kobe Paras - son of former Philippine Basketball
Association MVP Benjie Paras - did to the Heat star what few others in
the game get to do. Dunk on LeBron. OK, so the four-time MVP wasn't really trying. He put up a
half-hearted defence - if you could even call it defence, as he put the
youngsters through their paces. But it was still pretty impressive from the Philippine Kobe. James is
in the country for a one-day Nike event, and Paras is one of the
brightest prospects. He helped the Philippines' under-18 national basketball team win a FIBA Asia 3x3 title earlier this year. But we bet he'll enjoy this moment every bit as much.
