Wednesday, first-year Los Angeles Lakers coach Mike Brown appeared as a guest on ESPN’s “Pardon the Interruption.” The former Cleveland Cavaliers head man was asked to discuss the differences involved with coaching LeBron James, as compared to Kobe Bryant.
“LeBron is a guy that is more youthful, likes to have a ton of people around him, in terms of his teammates and joking around, almost like a practical jokester at times. There’s a side of him that likes to laugh and laugh with his teammates,” explained Brown.
“Kobe is more businesslike in such that let’s get done with what we need to get done and let’s move on,” added the 2009 NBA Coach of the Year.
In other words, LeBron is interested in camaraderie, goofing around with friends/teammates, as well as winning NBA championships.
In the days since the Giants 29-14 victory over the Jets on Christmas Eve, the once very cordial rivalry between New York’s two NFL teams has escalated into an all out shooting match. Precipitated in large measure by the 
Monday night’s BCS National Championship Game may have generated tremendous interest in the states of Alabama and Louisiana, but the same cannot be said for the rest of the United States.
