For the first time ever, The ESPYS will honor three retiring athletes with its prestigious Icon Award.
There was a picture floating around social media yesterday that appeared to show Kobe Bryant, high out of his mind with red eyes after hanging out with Snoop Dogg. People got a kick out of it and since he was hanging with Snoop, it was quite possible that they enjoyed some herbal remedies together. The two L.A. stars were hanging out because Snoop had gifted Kobe with a custom 64 Impala as a retirement gift.
Snoop Dogg is a huge fan of California teams including the Los Angeles Lakers. He even got a customized Lakers themed 64′ Chevy Impala convertible that’s purple and yellow with “Lakers “on the headrests and the hood is a picture of him and the championship Lakers team. Kobe Bryant received a lot of retirement gifts but this may top them all.
Kevin Durant is the biggest name in free agency this summer and everyone is wondering what his decision will be. He seems very loyal to what he calls “home” with the Oklahoma City Thunder but retired NBA superstar Kobe Bryant says Durant should look at every opportunity.
Who ya gonna call? Ghostbusters Kobe Bryant. If you thought the Black Mamba was going to disappear into obscurity after retirement then you’re sadly mistaken. The NBA legend will appear in the new Ghostbusters movie and The Players Tribune gave us a behind the scenes look at his cameo.
Kobe Bryant sees a lot of himself in Draymond Green and they formed a bond. Bryant said Green was a “rare breed in this day and age” and was the only one who could create tension within the Warriors that they needed to win another championship. Following Golden State’s Game 4 loss, Bryant reached out to Green over text message and gave him some motivation to make history, according to Green’s Uninterrupted video series.
