Bryant to Make TNT Appearance
Mike Bresnahan, From Times Staff and Wire Reports
May 16, 2006

Kobe Bryant will appear as a guest analyst on Wednesday night's TNT playoff doubleheader, a public follow-up to his text-message battle with TNT analyst Charles Barkley.

Bryant, who will provide in-studio analysis, was irritated when Barkley called him "very selfish" in the wake of the Lakers' 121-90 Game 7 loss to Phoenix in the first round of the playoffs.

Bryant scored 24 points but had only one in the second half. He missed all three of his shots in the last half.

"I think he stopped shooting so he could say, 'Those guys didn't help me,' " Barkley said at the time.

Barkley said he received 20 text messages from Bryant protesting his opinion.
