We told you that Kobe Bryantwasn't going to be happy about landing at No. 25 on ESPN's #NBArank list! It took him about a week to finally get around to responding to his low ranking on the list. But a little while ago, Kobe finally spoke out about where he was put on the list. And his response to it probably won't surprise you.

So what did Kobe say about it? Well, he said that anyone who thinks he's the 25th best player in the NBA needs to be drug tested. Yup, drug tested. Like, immediately.

We would have to agree. We know that ESPN factored his Achilles injury into his ranking this year. But there were at least a dozen guys ranked ahead of him (LaMarcus Aldridge? John Wall? AL HORFORD?!) who didn't deserve to be above him. They're great players in their own right. But c'mon, they're not Kobe!

And if you don't agree with us? Then let the drug testing begin...
