Kobe Bryant Looking Forward To Finally Catching Up On The Wire

After a sensational Lakers victory in the 2009 NBA Finals, Kobe Bryant has announced that he is looking forward to catching up on popular TV series The Wire, something he has been intending to get around to for a few years now. “I’m very proud of my team, and it’s a great honour to have been named the NBA Finals MVP of this series,” Bryant said to a packed press conference. “But now, what I really need to focus on is catching up on the rest of season 2 so I can find out what happens with The Greek.”

Bryant has taken extra care to avoid spoilers of how the show wrapped up its final fifth season, adamant that he wants to let it unfold as David Simon intended. Upon winning game 5 of the finals, Bryant reportedly went straight to the nearest Best Buy to purchase the remaining seasons, and also considered a complete boxset of Deadwood. “Everyone’s talking about Mad Men, I should probably check that out,” Bryant said enthusiastically. “Hey, Battlestar Galactica’s on special too!”
