Here is something about Kobe's speed

Quote : "Kobe Bryant has dropped weight, last year he came into camp at 230, he now weighs 214. His speed test was the same time as Raymond Felton, who runs a 4.3 40 yard dash, which is the same as Michael Vick. So to break it down, Kobe is now RIDICULOUSLY FAST. He's one of the fastest guys in the league now easy, but he's still got that chizzled upper body that allows him to finish with contact so well."
