Kobe jokes about LeBron's pass-happy kids: 'Send them my way, and I'll fix that'

Kobe Bryant thinks LeBron James' kids are supremely gifted basketball players, much like their father.

But uncle Bryant does have one critique: "They pass too much." (Classic uncle Bryant with the self-depreciating, yet totally serious quip.)

Bryant caught up with James' mother, Gloria, in the hallway outside the locker rooms Thursday and shared a joke about her grandkids, reports ESPN's J.A. Adande.

"They pass too much," Bryant said. "Send them my way, and I'll fix that."

James has three kids, the oldest being LeBron James Jr., who's already being recruited by colleges. And based on highlight reel footage, junior takes after senior in terms of playmaking ability.

But does he need more help from Bryant? Who would pass up a five-time champion's advice, especially since he's apparently making the rounds with the mentorship.
