If anyone is going to attempt to start to smack-talk Lakers' Kobe Bryant, you best be able to not only talk-the-talk, but walk-the-walk.

Bryant's basketball resume is guaranteed to make him a first-ballot Hall-of-Famer and now that he will be playing at the 2012 Olympics, he has a shot at adding another gold medal to his resume.

Cavs' Kyrie Irving, on the other hand, is just beginning his NBA career and hasn't quite amassed the same accolades as Bryant but nevertheless, he decided to smack-talk Kobe after challenging him to a one-on-one game for charity.

Check out Irving, who is a member of the U.S. Select Team, deciding it was best to jaw at Bryant and as anyone can expect, Kobe pretty much decimated him.
