Kobe Bryant had some high praise for James Harden during a 2015 appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," naming the Houston Rockets star as the current player he'd most like to build a franchise around.

Harden sat down with Kimmel on Monday night's show, and spoke about what an honor it was to hear Bryant say that.

"Just coming from him, one of the best to ever do it, it means a lot to me," he said.

Harden also chatted about his agent, Rob Pelinka, becoming general manger of the Los Angeles Lakers.
