Sylvester Stallone is the latest to weigh in on the new Kobe Bryant and LeBron James dynamic in Los Angeles. A reporter from TMZ asked Stallone a hypothetical situation wherein there's only one table left in a restaurant. To whom will he give the last table? The current Lakers superstar in LeBron or the L.A. legend in Kobe?

Sly's answer was short yet pretty much hit the spot:

“Don't you have to be courteous to the new guy in town?

Though already retired from playing, Bryant's impact in the city resonates up until now. He and James were once considered rivals a short while back. At one point in their careers, they were considered the top two players in the league.

Now, people see them as a team. It doesn't matter if Bryant's not donning the purple and gold for work every day anymore. He still shares a strong relationship with the Lakers organization. He'll be a Laker for the rest of his life.

James, meanwhile, joins the list of NBA greats that have donned the Lakers jersey. Some of which include Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabar, James Worthy, and Shaquille O'Neal. Just like them, will James bring a ring to the City of Angels?

As for the hypothetical situation that Sly had to work on: if Kobe and LeBron enter a restaurant with only one table left, we're pretty sure that they went together to sit, eat, and share endless stories of their fabled rivalry and their life as a Laker.
