Bryant agrees to play in Italy during NBA lockout

+

Former USC guard Daniel Hackett, a dual citizen who plays for Pesaro in Italy, said he would give Bryant a hostile reception if he faced the former NBA MVP. "The only way to stop a player that good is with a hard foul and he knows that," Hackett said. "I’ve got five fouls to commit and they’re going to be the hardest five fouls I’ve ever committed."
