Kobe Bryant is the best example of sprezzatura in sports, especially when you see him drive to the rim with four defenders on him. Kobe also speaks italian.

Agreed. This account of his 4am workouts and non-stop icing routine on gameday is truly inspiring:

I like Kobe more than Lebron more for this very reason. He compensates for his relatively inferior size with superior work ethic.

His work ethic is legendary (and rubbed off on Lebron at the Olympics last summer). FYI, Kobe is 6'5" which is exactly average for NBA shooting guards.
