Jeremy Lin has played with some superstars during his tenure in the NBA.

He shot to fame in New York alongside Carmelo Anthony, then signed with Houston to play beside James Harden, and now Lin is taking the court with Kobe Bryant.

So, as any fan of basketball would want to know, what's the difference between these scoring superstars?

Bill Oram of the Orange County Register asked the new Laker and his answer was very pro-Kobe ... but could also be seen as a shot at his former teammate. Lin said the difference between Bryant compared to Hardenand Anthony was "How hard he works and his attention to detail."

Hmm...

We're not going to cry foul on this one just yet, but it would make things a little more entertaining.

Lin went on to talk about Kobe, "The stuff that he thinks about or talks about, only someone who is really trying to analyze every single thing about the game would be able to understand something like that."

Kobe's work ethic is well known, but so is his trash-talking abilities. Maybe the veteran is starting to rub off on young Lin?
