You know Cuthbert's Hotter

Every once in a while, you come across something on the internet that makes you just sit back and say, "Whoa." For me, this generally comes from some melange of the infamous Aurora Snow Gag Factor 5 clip (REALLY NSFW: Audio Here) and reading Kim Peek's Wikipedia page. However, today at work, I was left awestruck, not once, but twice--here are the nuggets of truth that left me speechless:

1. Kobe Bryant has played exactly as many seasons as Michael Jordan did with the Bulls.

and

2. Anne Hathaway is Askmen.com's #5 most desirable woman.

I'll address both in this post. Sports and chicks, that's what Fegonomics DOES!

Jordan vs.

Kobe's currently playing in his 13th season with the Lakers, which is exactly the number of years that Jordan played before hanging it up for the Bulls. Of course, this doesn't count the one and a half year secret suspension that David Stern forced Jordan to serve between the '93 and '95 seasons. (Sidenote: Is there anything better than a David Stern conspiracy theory? Between the videographic evidence of him RIGGING the 1985 draft, rumors that the Council of Foreign Relations of which he is a member, is actually the New World Order, and him phantom suspending Michael Jordan for his gambling problem, this guy is involved in more seedy activity than the Juice himself).

All heresay and speculation aside, one thing is certain. No one in the NBA right now will ever match Jordan as a player, or transcend the game like he did. Not Kobe. Not Xanax Duncan. Not even 'BronBron (Even though he is making a concerted effort to become a "global icon").
I arrive at this conclusion for two reasons, one obvious, the second a little less so

I mean, clearly, a player's going to be VERY hard pressed to be as clutch as #23 was. Think about how ludicrous it is that he has his own clutch shot mixtape. Most players have trouble even having their own Dunk mixtape. Case in point: The Birdman.
