Kobe Bryant
(http://i30.tinypic.com/av38sj.jpg)

Kobe Bean Bryant (born August 23, 1978(1978-08-23)) is an American shooting guard who plays for the Los Angeles Lakers in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Bryant enjoyed a successful high school basketball career and made instant headlines when he decided to go directly into the NBA upon graduation. He was selected with the 13th overall pick in the 1996 NBA Draft by the Charlotte Hornets, then traded to the Los Angeles Lakers. Bryant and then-teammate Shaquille O'Neal led the Lakers to three consecutive NBA championships from 2000 to 2002. After O'Neal's departure following the 2003–04 season, Bryant became the cornerstone of the Lakers franchise. He led the NBA in scoring during the 2005–06 and 2006–07 seasons. In 2006, Bryant scored a career high 81 points against the Toronto Raptors, the second highest number of points scored in a single game in NBA history, second only to Wilt Chamberlain's 100 point performance. Bryant won his fourth NBA championship in 2009, leading the Lakers to their fifteenth title. He also won his first Finals MVP award.

^ Watching him in the preseason so far, it definitely seems like they're going to be posting him up a bit more this season.  Saves him some energy too.

SO CLUTCH - the Closer of the NBA. The inevitable DECADE lists are upon us. Kobe ranks #1

10 that shaped the NBA decade (http://www.nba.com/2009/news/features/shaun_powell/12/08/ten.decade/index.html?ls=iref:nbahpt1)

    1. Kobe Bryant -

    Not quite Magic, not quite Bird and not quite Jordan, but for overall impact on the game, Kobe rules the decade. He began it as a teen idol who made basketball cool. His image took a hit after legal problems in Colorado. And then, in large part because his basketball skills are so supreme, he recovered it all: endorsements, box office and another title, his fourth this decade.

Laker Star Kobe Bryant Sues Japanese City Over Naming Rights To High-End Beef

With the race for the top seed in the Western Conference all but wrapped up, it appears that Kobe Bryant has set his sights on a new opponent: the entire Japanese city of Kobe.

Kobe Bryant was actually named after the expensive and highly sought after Japanese beef when his father, whose nickname is "Jellybean," saw it on a restaurant menu. Now, the tables have turned, and Bryant is suing the city of Kobe itself over naming rights to the beef.

We managed to speak to Bryant's attorney, Jeff Rundvlees, on the issues at hand. "While we are aware the city of Kobe has been around longer than my client, Mr. Bryant has clearly become more famous and influential. I mean, just type 'Kobe' into Google and tell me what comes up first." Rundvlees continued, adding, "Kobe gets paid a lot of money by a lot of major companies to have his name associated with their products, and now this Japanese beef is reaping the benefits of all his hard work. I mean, if Gatorade had a flavor named Kobe and wasn't paying him for it, we'd be suing them too."

So does the Laker guard want to be compensated for the sales of Kobe beef? "He will require back-compensation, certainly. But to be honest, he has a very specific brand that he is trying to cultivate, and this beef doesn't exactly fall in line with that. In fact, I'm pretty sure the only reason it's so well regarded is because of its association with the 11 time All-Star."

Instead of future compensation, Kobe Bryant feels that it should be up to him to name the beef. Bryant, when spoken to after the team's 109-92 loss to the Atlanta Hawks last night, declined to comment at first on the legal matter. But when pressed for possible alternate names to the beef, he did eventually offer some suggestions. "I don't know, man. Maybe they should call it Shaq beef, since it's really fatty. Or who's that airplane dude? The guy who directed Mallrats. Whatever his name is."

Experts are predicting a long and drawn out legal process.

Yao Ming and Kobe Bryant May Co-Star in "Amazing" Film    
2010-06-04 09:13:31     China Daily      Web Editor: libo

Kobe dunks on Yao Ming (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNemKXW6YcM#)

Chinese NBA star Yao Ming, Los Angeles Lakers' giant Kobe Bryant and retired Magic Johnson may star with Chinese mainland actor Huang Xiaoming in a basketball-themed film, the Beijing News reported on Thursday.

Chinese mainland director Hu Xuehua will direct the film, sponsored by the Shanghai Film Group Corp and Dasheng International.

The film, called "amazing" by NBA Commissioner David Stern, tells the story of NBA stars coming to China to train prospective players for the NBA.

It was reported that Yao Ming and former Lakers player Johnson promised to participate in the film under the help of Stern, and Kobe Bryant was in discussions.

However, Ren Zhonglun, CEO of Shanghai Film Group Corp, didn't give any explicit response to those reports but expressed that his company was in touch with Yao Ming and Johnson.

Yao Ming starring as a coach in the film would work with Huang Xiaoming as one of Yao's players. Hong Kong movie star Yu Wenle or Shawn Yue may also join the film.

How Kobe inspired a young Messi

By Martin Rogers, Yahoo! Sports
jun 26, 12:47 EDT

 
JOHANNESBURG – With a few casual words, spaced between bites of his lunch, Kobe Bryant chalked up an assist in helping modern soccer’s greatest player achieve his full potential.

It was the 2008 Beijing Olympics and Bryant, just a few days short of leading basketball’s Team USA to the gold medal, spotted some members of the Argentina men’s soccer team huddled around a table in an athletes village food court.

“Where’s Messi?” Bryant demanded. “I want to see Lionel Messi.”

Soon enough, the Los Angeles Lakers star was locked in conversation with Messi, then 21 and with the soccer world at his feet, in Spanish.

Bryant was 29 and had long since established himself as a man of the world. Messi, already a superstar in his own sport with both his national team and Spanish club Barcelona, was more shy back then than he is today, even with millions in the bank and the chance to lead Argentina to an Olympic gold medal.

The American did most of the talking. And as he left with a handshake and a wave, Bryant turned over his shoulder and uttered words Messi has carried with him since.

“You’re the man, Messi,” Bryant said. “You’re the best. You’re not just good, you’re the best.”

They were just a few words, but they resonated with the young Argentinean.

“It was important to me what he said,” admitted Messi, whose next date with destiny will be at Soccer City on Sunday when Argentina takes on Mexico in the World Cup’s round of 16. “One of the best things about being successful in sport is getting the chance to meet these people who are legends in what they do.

“It was one of the reasons I so wanted to play in the Olympics, to have that experience of mixing with athletes from all around the world. And what Kobe Bryant told me made me think a little.”

At the time of the Beijing Games, Brazil’s Kaka was the reigning FIFA World Player of the Year. Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal was about to surpass him. Messi was still knocking on the door.

Yet the following European club soccer season, Messi began his surge toward greatness. Leading Barcelona to an unprecedented three-championship run with titles in the Spanish league, Spanish King’s Cup and Champions League was more than enough for him to be finally acclaimed as the planet’s elite player.

“Meeting Kobe, it made me think about who he is and what he has achieved,” Messi said. “Even when he got to a very high level of success it was not enough. He continued to push himself and challenge himself. That is a great mentality for an athlete to have. It makes you think, ‘If he has this kind of mentality, why not me, too?’

“I love football and I am driven to improve, but yes, I think it did give me a little extra inspiration.”

awesome Kobe Article, about how he drives himself.

Kobe still tough, with assists from the greats

MINNEAPOLIS – Out of nowhere one afternoon, Michael Jackson made a call to the irrepressible and isolated Kobe Bryant, and so much changed for him. From a distance, the King of Pop could sense so much of his own obsessive genius within the prodigy. Bryant was the 18-year-old wonder for the Los Angeles Lakers, and no one knew what to make of a restlessness borne of a desperate desire for greatness.

“He noticed I was getting a lot of [expletive] for being different,” Bryant said.

They would talk for hours and hours, visiting at Neverland Ranch, and Bryant has long been fortified by the lessons Jackson instilled about the burden of honoring true talent, about the ways to open your mind to be smarter, sharper and insatiable in the chase.
 
“It sounds weird, I guess, but it’s true: I was really mentored by the preparation of Michael Jackson,” Bryant told Yahoo! Sports.

Bryant isn’t much for nostalgia and sentimentality, but it hung in the air as he cut into his steak over dinner recently in the fourth-floor restaurant at the Graves Hotel. Jackson is gone, but Bryant is going on 15 years with the Lakers.

“We would always talk about how he prepared to make his music, how he prepared for concerts,” Bryant said. “He would teach me what he did: How to make a ‘Thriller’ album, a ‘Bad’ album, all the details that went into it. It was all the validation that I needed – to know that I had to focus on my craft and never waver. Because what he did – and how he did it – was psychotic. He helped me get to a level where I was able to win three titles playing with Shaq because of my preparation, my study. And it’s only all grown.

(http://picroda.jphip.com/manlove/jphip00467.jpg)

“That’s the mentality that I have – it’s not an athletic one. It’s not from [Michael] Jordan. It’s not from other athletes.

“It’s from Michael Jackson.” :shocked

Bryant wore his Lakers varsity jacket, purple gold. It had several championship trophies across the back. For all the cynicism the years have brought him, a lot of that teenager still lives within. Kobe Bryant is 32 years old now, and he keeps coming and coming like nothing witnessed since Jordan himself.

He’s chasing his sixth championship, a second three-peat, and still, Kobe Bryant doesn’t want to talk about Twitter followers. He doesn’t want to talk about all the Hollywood acting roles he has turned down, the parties and nightlife that he has mostly forsaken in his career. He’s chasing a ticking clock, chasing the ghosts before him – Jordan and Magic and Russell.

The world has changed around Bryant in this modern NBA, but his core basketball values have remained largely untouched and unimpeachable: His will stays greater than yours; his talent evolves but hardly diminishes. His single-mindedness remains maniacal.

“Guys have voices now, want to build brands,” Bryant said. “I don’t identify with it, but I understand where it’s going, why it’s going there. That’s not for me. I focus on one thing and one thing only – that’s trying to win as many championships as I can.”

Yes, he’s got five, and the Lakers stand as a favorite to get him his sixth this season. The false god of celebrity still isn’t intoxicating to him like the grit, the grind of greatness. He still loves the work, craves the pain that comes with pushing himself – pushing everyone. The craft, he calls it: Honor the craft. On the night before every game, he still downloads video into his iPhone from Mike Procopio in Chicago about how opponents may attack him, the way the defenders will rotate to him, the spots where he can feed his teammates the ball – small things beyond the Lakers’ own scouting reports, another edge. Sometimes, they’ll email thoughts back and forth past midnight, which isn’t such a big deal because Bryant seldom sleeps more than three hours a night.

For him, so much of the genius remains in the details.

So when you start a question, “I know you don’t see the end coming … ,” Bryant corrects you quickly. “But it’s a lot closer; I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.”

And you won’t be the one to stay too long, to make them rip the jersey off your back?

“Just thinking about some of the guys that I take advantage of now, taking advantage of me later – that doesn’t sit too well with me,” Bryant said.

In a lot of ways, Bryant believes he has never been better. Every time he sees Boston Celtics great Bill Russell, they talk about the ways that you grow, about the ways you take your team and mold and push and prod it. The biggest revelations, the epiphanies, have come out of Bryant’s own trial and error, his own successes and failures.

For the modern athlete, his recovery from the scandal of the Eagle, Colorado, assault case has been one of sport’s most remarkable.

“You don’t have a choice,” Bryant said. “You come out of it and you come out of it better than you were. You can crawl up into a little ball like a coward – or you can fight it.”
 
(http://picroda.jphip.com/manlove/jphip00442.jpg)

Well beyond his most trying personal test, Bryant sees the growth within his professional self in the oddest moments and times. Just a week ago, on a cold night in Milwaukee, he had gone to the scorers table to substitute for Shannon Brown. Only, Brown was hot. He hit a 3-pointer, and another, and another, and soon Bryant – waiting to check into the game with Lamar Odom – told Odom that he should take out Luke Walton, and Bryant would get Matt Barnes.

Said Bryant: “Because now I understand: ‘Let him go; let him ride that.’ Back in my younger days, I never would’ve thought about that.”

Ask him what he embraces in his early 30s that he never understood in his 20s, and there’s no hesitation: It’s what everyone insisted he had been a failure with, a perception that he has transformed with two post-Shaquille O’Neal championships.

“How to truly make players better, what that really means,” he said. “It’s not just passing to your guys and getting them shots. It’s not getting this or that many players into double figures. That’s bull[expletive]. That’s not how you win championships. You’ve got to change the culture of your team – that’s how you truly make guys better. In a way, you have to help them to get the same DNA that you have, the same focus you have, maybe even close to the same drive. That’s how you make guys better.

“I’ve never understood this stuff, where a star player sits out and a team goes into the tank. Well, they need him because he makes them better. Well, if he’s making them better, they should be able to survive without him. That’s how you lead your guys. You’ve got to be able to make guys suffice on their own, without you. If you’re there all the time and they take you away, they shouldn’t need a respirator.

“Once I understood all that, I looked at things completely different. I took my hands off. I didn’t try to control them. I let them make decisions, make their own [expletive]-ups and I was there to try and help them through it.”

As much as anyone, Russell led Bryant to those epiphanies. At an NBA All-Star weekend years ago, Bryant introduced himself to the legendary Celtics center and they’ve never missed a chance to sit and share thoughts and memories since. Things Russell told him years ago made more sense as Bryant grew up, grew older and saw leadership and winning through more advanced prisms. When the rest of the league’s best players were invited to play at the White House this summer, Bryant ended up sitting on the side with Russell because of his knee surgery.

(http://picroda.jphip.com/manlove/jphip00462.jpg)

“Bill is always a Celtic, but I think he’s appreciated my thirst for knowledge,” Bryant said.

He’ll never reach Russell’s 11 championships, but he has a chance to pass Magic Johnson’s five championships, pass Michael Jordan’s six and get closest. For as much sense as Russell made to Bryant over the summer in Washington, something else there completely confounded him. As he walked the District’s streets in August, people peppered him with three words: Beat the Heat.

Beat the Heat?

“That’s what I get a lot now,” Bryant said. ‘Beat the Heat.’ ”
 
Truth be told, it hadn’t occurred to him that would be the mantra for the two-time defending champion Lakers.

“Um, they’re in the East,” Bryant would say.

Which was his polite way of saying: For starters, how about they beat Boston and Orlando? And now, at 8-6, let’s face it: The least of LeBron and the Miami Heat’s worries ought to be Kobe and Los Angeles Lakers.

Bryant won’t call it insulting, only saying: “It’s funny. I get a good chuckle out of it.”

History matters to him, and that’s why you see his eyes grow as wide as half-dollars when the rivalry with the Boston Celtics gets raised. As Bryant attempts to chase down Jordan’s six titles, the Lakers will try to chase down the Celtics’ 17 titles this spring. The NBA scripted the Lakers vs. Heat on Christmas Day, but Bryant is convinced that these things can be so easily manufactured, made to matter because of television marketers.

“It’s another game,” he said. “I don’t think the masses understand that. It’s just another game. It’s the Heat. I mean, Christmas morning, I’m going to open presents with my kids. I’m going to take pictures of them opening the presents. Then I’m going to come to the Staples Center and get ready to work.

[Rewind: Kobe called out for controversial ‘Call of Duty’ ad]

“But I’m not doing anything different. I don’t have to.”

The Celtics?

Yes, the Celtics are different.

“Now that’s a war,” Bryant said. “Boston is a great city to go to, all the history. If you’re an opponent, they hate your [expletive] guts – like New York, like Chicago, all those Eastern cities. That’s the one that gets me excited.

“If you’re a basketball purist, that’s the [expletive] you want to see.”

The Celtics have framed Bryant for history. He sees them as championship peers. He lost in six games to Boston in the 2008 Finals and beat them in seven in 2010. For Bryant, who considers himself a direct descendent of the basketball ’80s, there’s a passage to greatness. To be the best player in the sport, well, Bryant promises there’s a rite of passage which comes with the biggest performances in the biggest games, a rite that comes with titles.

History dictates the rules, the criteria, and people don’t get to be called the best player in the sport without earning it the way predecessors did. He wouldn’t sit here over dinner and declare himself the best player in the sport, but he’s never conceded it to LeBron James or Kevin Durant.

(http://picroda.jphip.com/manlove/jphip00324.jpg)

Validation comes with victory. This rule doesn’t belong to him; it belongs to history.
 
“In an individual sport, yes, you have to win titles,” Bryant said. “Baseball’s different. But basketball, hockey? One person can control the tempo of a game, can completely alter the momentum of a series. There’s a lot of great individual talent. Oscar Robertson was a great individual talent. So was Elgin Baylor. Part of my frustration was that I didn’t want to go down that path for the second half of my career. I didn’t want to be a Dominique Wilkins. I didn’t want to be an Elgin Baylor and not win. …

“Part of the pride within me was that I won by being the sidekick. I’m going to be the only player in league history that’s won being a sidekick – and I had a lot of responsibility – going to be the only player to do that, and being the main guy. I’m going to show you that I can do that.

“How do I get to the next level? How do I get everyone around me to the next level? Yeah, you’ve got to win; that’s what I had to do. I was a great individual talent but I wasn’t comfortable with that. I wanted to do more.”

Kobe Bryant wasn’t naming names, but hey, if the Nikes fit …

“Michael wasn’t Michael until he won championships,” Bryant said. “It’s as simple as that.”

In so many ways, this has become an NBA of cliques, buddies hanging out with buddies. James wanted to play with Wade and Bosh. Amar’e Stoudemire, Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony have toasted to the possibility of playing together in New York. The draft class of 2003 – James and Wade, Anthony and Bosh – has always run as a pack, always been associates more than adversaries.

Kobe Bryant arrived in the NBA as a lone wolf, has played his whole career that way, and that’s how he’ll leave the league. One of the things which Michael Jackson helped him understand was that, ultimately, you’re competing far more with your own standards, your own limits, than someone else’s. Bryant’s never run around in packs of players, never let his career be judged or driven in the context of his contemporaries.

“That’s how I am,” Bryant said. “That’s what made me tough. I didn’t need other guys to push me. This is me. I’m like this with you, and I’m like this without you. Michael [Jackson] was the same way. That was our connection.”

Once the NBA’s twentysomething stars were done with the stage-smoke shows this summer, the preening, the predicting of five and six championships, they were playing ball at the White House with the president. On a tour of the West Wing, Bryant tried to be hospitable in those most-familiar surroundings.

“You’ve got to go to the bathroom? Oh, go that way, take a left and then turn right,” Bryant said, his head bobbing back in laughter now. “Oh, you want the chef? I know where he is, too. We’ve been a few times.”

Yes, Kobe Bryant kind of liked that one. All he knows is this: Between now and the London Olympics in 2012, one of his U.S. teammates ought to do himself a favor and win a championship. Otherwise, it’ll be a long, hot summer of Bryant riding them all. Around Team USA, they’ll tell you that Kobe Bryant and Dwyane Wade were the two Americans who had the dispositions to dominate in the gold-medal game’s fourth quarter. “Our alpha dogs,” one official said.

Privately, there are plenty of national-team elders and coaches who are curious about how that chemistry will work in 2012. Mostly, they wonder whether James will see it as his time, his team, with Bryant 34 years old. From the return of the Miami clique to the arrival of Kevin Durant, it’ll be a different dynamic, a different vibe.

For a moment, Bryant tried to answer it diplomatically.

“Um, I don’t know,” he said.

Only, Kobe Bryant did know – and finally said so.

“Actually, I really don’t give a [expletive]. I’m not curious about it. Give me my [expletive] gold medal and then let me try to win another NBA championship. Let’s practice, have a good time, and if you need me in the last two minutes of the game, I’ll be coming in to pull the [expletive] out.”

And there you go. Whatever everyone thought would happen this summer, here we are in November and something hasn’t changed in the NBA: They’re still chasing Bryant. Every year, something else is going to stop him. This time, it was the knee. It was LeBron and Wade on South Beach. Something. It’s always something.

“They don’t learn,” Bryant said. “I’m here. I’m not going anywhere. No matter what the injury – unless it’s completely debilitating – I’m going to be the same player I’ve always been. I’ll figure it out. I’ll make some tweaks, some changes, but I’m still coming.”

Bryant is 32, chasing Jordan and Russell the way the rest of the twentysomethings chase him. And now he sits up straight and says it one more time, because he wants to make sure everyone understands the truth of the matter.

“I’m still coming.”

Kobe Bryant Works with Jay Chou in New Song

NBA star Kobe Bryant and Asian pop king Jay Chou film a commercial for the soft drinks company Sprite. [Photo: CFP]

Two superstars, one from the world of sport and the other from the music industry, have got together recently for a special collaboration.

NBA All-Star MVP Kobe Bryant and Asian pop king Jay Chou have recorded the song, "The Heaven and Earth Challenge", which was launched at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Written by Chou, the song encourages young people to be confident. And as expected, it has a sporting theme and both stars portray characters who challenge each other in a basketball match one-on-one.

Staying true to character, Bryant is very confident with his performance. "I love it... my part is talk, it's very relaxing and I did a great job, it must be A+."

Chou acknowledges that Bryant's winning spirit inspired him so much that the creative process was very easy.

"I wrote the lyrics and the song at one go. The cooperation between Kobe and I is unique and unrivaled."

The song will be used commercially by the soft drinks company Sprite. All proceeds from the online ring-tone downloads of the song will go to Project Hope, a charity dedicated to helping improve educational facilities in poverty-stricken areas in China.

Just read this article from last year.
It's pretty awesome

Quote
Is Kobe Bryant possessed of transcendent talent? Of course. But that's not what makes him great. For fourteen grueling seasons, the 31-year-old former prodigy has cracked, fractured, strained, torn, cut, bruised, nicked, and risked every part of his finely tuned self. And he's got the rings—and the scars—to show for it

Chalk another milestone in the legacy of KOBE!

Quote
With L.A.’s win over New Orleans on March 27, Kobe Bryant became the longest tenured player in Lakers history.

Bryant has now appeared in 1,094 games for the Purple and Gold in his 15 seasons dating back to 1996-97, surpassing the 1,093 games played by NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Bryant also holds the franchise mark for most games played in the postseason (198).

Kobe Bryant has reportedly offered to loan money to other players if the NBA lockout is prolonged.

"They've been deeply involved in the meetings we've had," said Billy Hunter in reference to Bryant and LeBron James. "I know Kobe is intimately involved in interfacing with colleagues and sharing in a pool of revenue to help the others get through this. Kobe has volunteered to do that in the event others need, he and others are prepared to loan money if necessary."

Kobe n Jay Chow reunite lol

(http://picroda.jphip.com/manlove/jphip00957.jpg)

Quote
Taiwanese singer Jay Chou made headlines last year, after he appeared in a commercial with NBA superstar Kobe Bryant.

Recently, the pair was in Los Angeles to collaborate in yet another commercial for Sprite and the commercial was released yesterday.

Jay was seen provoking Kobe, who was playing basketball in the court, with the use of music in this video. An incensed Kobe went up the stage and began playing Jay's song The Era on the guitar.

Apart from his statuesque build and adroit basketball skills, the NBA player once released a solo album in 1999 and always had a passion in music.

"I've been writing lyrics since I was 14 years old. Lyric-writing is as easy as playing basketball," Kobe shared.

He also expressed his wish to work on music with Jay, should there be a chance in future.

Commenting on Kobe's musical talents, Jay complimented, "I've always believed that Kobe's a talented person, but I'm surprised that his musical talents are so impressive too."

When asked if he picked up any basketball playing tips from Kobe, the singer expressed that he had learnt a lot from Kobe during a charity basketball game last October.

"I hope I can compete with him this year. I feel that even though he played with us at last year's game, it was as if he's playing with a bunch of kids. That day felt like a dream to the many celebrities who were present then," Jay added.

Quote
This 105-year-old lady named Allene Wynn can't always remember exactly which day her birthday is. She doesn't know how many grandkids she has. And she has a hard time remembering much about her middle ages. But, she does know one thing: She's a diehard Lakers fan and she's not very happy with Kobe Bryant or any of his teammates right now! And if she ever met Kobe, she'd tell him that.

 "I'd ask him why he ain't playin' no better," she says at the 1:37 mark of this clip. "The Lakers are making me mad. If I was able, I bet I could win."

“Because I don’t play for your [expletive] approval. I play for my own love and enjoyment of the game. And to win. That’s what I play for. Most of the time, when guys feel the pressure, they’re worried about what people might say about them. I don’t have that fear, and it enables me to forget bad plays and to take shots and play my game."

Kobe with Taiwan pop singer Jay Chou 周杰伦 at a Sprite Event raising 2.6MM RMB for underprivileged youth in China!!!
(http://picroda.jphip.com/manlove/jphip01080.jpg)
(http://picroda.jphip.com/manlove/jphip01081.jpg)

Quote from: Kobe on Facebook
The Sprite China 2nd Annual Charity Basketball game was a ton of fun. We played two 15 min halves with a running clock. I watched from the bench for the first half. We were trailing by 9 when I was notified that fans via text can choose a team to add 20 additional points to their tally!!! We were now down 29!! I wanted to play it cool but what the heck, the place was packed with fans who’d sang an early happy birthday to me and really wanted to watch me go to work. My teammates were down. They are all singers/actors and do not play ball much AT ALL, but they are very successful at what they do hence they are VERY competitive. They asked if I could bring them back in the second half..

I didn't want to disappoint them or the fans that had paid their hard earned money for a show so I took the challenge of really using the second half as a training session for my stamina. I ran and ran and ran. I wound up scoring 68 in the 2nd and we won. Like I said, they are not basketball players by any stretch of the imagination. I was just having fun with all of them and loved hearing the crowd enjoy the show we put on.

They performed some of their number 1 hits. We took pics and signed autographs. I believe we raised 2.6MM RMB for underprivileged youth here in China! That is the MOST important number of the night. Sprite, one of my sponsors, hosted the game. They carry a great message of self-expression: Don't be afraid to be who you are -- by doing, so that you will find your own path and your own greatness as you define it.

Here’s my pic with Jay Chou. For those who might not know he is a HUGE star in China and we have done several China based commercials and events together. He is THE beast of his field.

Tomorrow is my last day in China then it's back home for some much needed rest :-)

Much love. Mamba.

To pass WILT Chamberlain, arguably the strongest guy in the NBA next to Shaq, dominating an era of lay uppers. Kobe even on one leg, he is just willing em to newer heights. I haven't seen Dwight this focused on his leaping and he's losing his balls a lot less. FUCK YES LET'S GO LAKERS!!!

City of Los Angeles will declare 'Kobe Bryant Day' to honor Lakers legend

By Andrew Lynch
Aug 22, 2016 at 8:53p ET
Even in retirement, Kobe Bryant continues to rule Los Angeles.


Later this week, his reign becomes official, as the city declared August 24 — you know, 8/24, both of Kobe's numbers — "Kobe Bryant Day."

Councilmember José Huizar, Council President Herb Wesson and Council member Curren Price, will honor Lakers’ great Kobe Bean Bryant at its City Council meetingWednesday by declaring August, 24, 2016, “Kobe Bryant Day” in the City of Los Angeles. Bryant, who retired last season by scoring 60 points in his final NBA game, amassed 33,643 points (3rd all-time) in a 20-year career with the Lakers, along with five NBA titles, 18 All Star appearances and an NBA MVP. An international megastar, Bryant leaves a legacy as one of the Lakers’, and indeed, the NBA’s all-time greats. The August 24th date commemorates the two numbers (8 and 24) Kobe Bryant wore during his career with the Los Angeles Lakers, the longest for any NBA player with a single franchise.

It is still so hard to believe Kobe isn't here, 6 months later....this is touching: Taylor Swift gifted Kobe's daughter Natalia a cardigan sweater from her latest album:

Gianna and her sister was huge fans

so much that Kobe made the effort to get them to meet backstage and this banner at Staples from her 1989 tour.

I like the 5x champ one but it's a bit too pricey for me. K wanted the City Edition Jersey. I'll wait a while until the hype is less, people stop milking Kobe. Where were they when he was still alive?? I heard a Pau Gasol interview recently on Jim Rome and it still chokes me up. He posted a pic recently with Vanessa and Fam.  :cry:
