For B-Ball Fans in Korea

NBA star Kobe Bryant will host a "talk show" in Seoul on Friday together with Korean-American heartthrob Daniel Henney.

The 28-year-old LA Lakers guard, who is touring Asia, will arrive in Seoul on Friday morning for a two-day visit. He will host the 15-minute event in Myong-dong, central Seoul, from 8 p.m., where he is expected to talk about his life and career.

Bryant will also speak with a group of Korean fans at a basketball clinic called "10 lessons for a guard," scheduled for 5 p.m. at Chamsil Stadium in southern Seoul.

Bryant last visited Korea in August 1999. He is already NBA great, having become the second person in league history to score at least 80 points in one game. On Jan. 22 he dropped in 81 points in a victory over the Toronto Raptors, making him second only to Wilt Chamberlain, who scored 100 in 1962.

Henney, a model and actor, was a successful basketball player when he attended high school in the United States.
