Kobe Bryant and Dikembe Mutombo try the PlayStation 3

According to Harold Goldberg of VH1, both basketball stars Kobe Bryant of the LA Lakers and Dikembe Mutombo of the Houston Rockets have played the next-generation console from Sony. Kobe Bryant, after dropping by at the Playstation Parlor of the Palms Hotel, Las Vegas, played the same game that sports him on the cover: SCEA‘s NBA ’07.

Bryant enjoyed playing the game that modeled physics and players with frightening realism. He had difficulty in playing the Skills Challenge, even up against Dwyane Wade in the same challenge a little while later. At least in simulation, Bryant still wins.

And perhaps like most people, he found it odd that he could play himself in a game. But after seeing how much the game and the console could simulate maneuvers, he was very impressed. He particularly noted that not only did they capture their looks, but also their mannerisms.

Mutombo, defensive center for the Houston Rockets, also entered the Playstation suite to try out SCEA’s Motorstorm. Well, in a short, frank note, he isn’t very good at dirt racing. He and his son got stuck in a ditch somewhere in the middle of the race and couldn’t get out. Thankfully, his daughter stepped in, touched a few buttons and he and his son were back in the race again.
