On Stephen A. Smith's program Quite Frankly, he debates with Skip Bayless about who was the better player at the age of 33-years old, Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant.  To most unknowing eyes, this might seem like a harmless topic, but truthfully, it is about something much deeper and darker.  Let us decode the names Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant.

• Michael = 4+9+3+8+1+5+3 = 33
• Kobe = 11+15+2+5 = 33
• Michael Jordan = 13+9+3+8+1+5+12+10+15+18+4+1+14 = 113
• Kobe Bryant = 11+15+2+5+2+18+25+1+14+20 = 113

Even Stephen A. Smith and his program name tie into this.  His show is titled Quite Frankly.
