I like comparing spectacular plays across different sports (speaking of which, here’s a bonus: Jamaal Tinsley meg, or Messi meg?).

Today, Sebastian Coates and Kobe Bryant are our real men of genius (“Real men of geniuuuuus!”)

Coates, with this awesome scissor kick: “Mr. awesome-scissor-kick-in-Liverpool’s-match-against-Queens-Park-Rangers, yeaaaaaah!” (Sung with Real Men of Genius voice).

And Kobe, with a crazy reverse layup last night against Dallas: (Still singing) “He didn’t even look, his eyes were closed!”

Kobe after the jump.
