Will Smith couldn't let it go when Chris Rock made a joke about his wife Jada and ran up on the Oscar stage to slap Rock.

Now Smith is a punchline.

It didn't have to be that way.  The late Kobe Bryant taught the world years ago that you can just ignore Chris rock if you maintain the Mamba mentality.

As you can see, Kobe didn't even blink when Knicks fan Rock -- with his sidekick Chris Spade next to him -- tried to throw Kobe off his game with his "jokes."

Smith has said he will enter therapy to deal with his anger issues.  Perhaps he should just watch some old Lakers tapes.
