  1. This is gold, reminds me of his mock introduction of Kobe – “from Philadelphia slash Italy….. Kobbeeeeeeeee BRYANT!!!”

  2. I love stuff like this where you are shown the human side of a superstar that plays a game. They share a common bond.

  3. Kobe was so serious 24/7 around other basketball players. Lebron was the only one who could get him to crack a smile. In large part that was because Bron was one of the few players Kobe truly respected. Ultimately, the Bron/Kobe dynamic played a huge role in helping the team chemistry for the redeem team en route to gold

  4. Such a wholesome heartwarming video, some of the greatests, all just having a good time

  5. Kind of sad how much respect and admiration these two had for one another and how little it’s reciprocated between their fans

  6. I remember watching all of the coverage of the ’08 Olympic team. All of the younger guys (Bron, Wade, etc) would always be joking and teasing Kobe during the trip. But after Kobe carried the team to Gold when it mattered most, their admiration for him increased.
