Ladies and gentlemen, Sir Kobe Bryant hath been awarded the honor of being the first athlete to ever have weaseled, I mean earned, a spot on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Yes, the same pavement that holds the hand and foot prints of such stars as Judy Garland, Marilyn Monroe, and Michael Caine has just bent the rules and awarded Bryant for his excellence in athleticism.

Wuuuut?

I bet Michael Jordan, Lance Armstrong, Dan Marino, and Larry Byrd are plotting something in a basement somewhere as we speak!

Do you feel athletes deserve recognition among the stars?
More importantly, do you think someone else should have received that honor?
