    “CNN Larry King Live,” transcript, January 6, 2005, CNN.com, http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0501/06/lkl.01.html. Mr. Bryant responded to Mr. King’s questions thus: “Well, I feel the team chemistry was the hardest thing, for me, anyway. Now, it’s a different era. Teams are substantially younger than they were. So you have teams now with guys who are 27, 26, 25. Whereas back then, when I came to the NBA, it was 29, 30, 31, 32. And I was 17, 17, 18, so I didn’t have anything in common with the guys, there was not much to talk about. So it was a little difficult.”
