 |  |  | For a 22-year-old, Kobe Bryant has a lot going on inside his head. Should I play in the All-Star Game? How long can I coexist with Shaq? DJ or live band at the wedding? Page 2 delves deep inside the kid's mind. 
| The only thing wrong with playing alongside the greatest basketball players in the world during the All-Star Game is having to occasionally pass the
ball to them. 
 To understand how one of the NBA's greatest players is handling that pressure this weekend, join us on a stroll through Kobe Bryant's brain with your mouse:
 | 
| Controls sight and hearing 
 Occasional nerve synapses in otherwise exceptional senses cause him to not see or hear 7-foot-2 objects that are wide open underneath the basket.

| Short-term memory center 
 To-do list: Get ankle and elbow taped. Score 40 points. Pick up wife after sixth period geometry class. Have 20 broccoli pizzas delivered to Shaq's house.

 Gimmeetheball. Gimmeetheball. Gimmeetheball. Gimmeetheball. Gimmeetheball. Gimmeetheball. Gimmeetheball.

 Hubba-hubba. Too bad she's a little old.
