Really Black Mamba?! Lol. I love finding out random facts like this. It gives such a great insight to some of our favorite athletes. In a recent interview it was revealed what Kobe Bryant watched throughout the Lakers’ 2009 title run.
Check it out…
Via YahooSports – Kobe Bryant apparently watched a teen sex comedy:
It turns out that he may have found this focus while watching a very stupid, critically reviled teen sex comedy over and over again. In an interview with Todd VanDerWerff for The AV Club’s “Random Roles” feature, in which actors discuss past projects, David Walton of the new NBC comedy “About A Boy” talks about his performance as “Dr. Rick” in the 2009 comedy “Fired Up!” For those who haven’t seen the film, “Fired Up!” is the story of two rising high school seniors who forgo their final summer of football practices to chase girls at cheerleading camp. Walton plays the self-involved romantic rival of one character, and he is the best part of the movie by a wide margin.
Anyway, it turns out that Kobe told Walton that he really loves “Fired Up!” and watched it throughout the 2009 playoffs:
That is a cult hit, that movie. There’s so many people who’ve seen that movie in double-digits. I did New Girl this past year, Kobe Bryant came to the set and was like, “Yo man, are you Dr. Rick?” And I was like, “Yeah.” He said, “I watched Fired Up! every day before we won the world championship in 2009.”
