Kobe Bryant is dabbling in poetry now.

On Monday's episode of "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," the retired Los Angeles Lakers legend performed a slam poem about Steve Urkel, the star of the 1990s sitcom "Family Matters." He looked the part too, sporting a black turtleneck.

Afterward, Fallon invited 13-year-old S.I. Kids reporter Max Bonnstetter onto the set to ask Bryant some questions, including what he spent his first big paycheck on and which defender haunted his nightmares.
