This past year the poker community lost one of it's biggest supporters; owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, Dr. Jerry Buss.

To honor Buss, the WSOP invited basketball superstar Kobe Bryant to play, and although he couldn't make it, he did offer up the "Shuffle up and Deal" via video for the 7-Card Stud Championship.
