They don’t call him the Black Mamba for nothing! Jordan Crawford appearanced on ESPN’s ‘Dan Le Batard Is Highly Questionable’ and talked about taxes, his first paycheck, Kobe Bryant & more. I knew Kobe was nicknamed the Black Mamba because of his quickness and because it’s one of his favorite snakes (see his explanation below), but this I never heard. Check out what he had to say about the noises Kobe makes when he wants the ball….
According to Dan Steinberg at DC Sports Blog:
On Kobe Bryant’s noises: “When I first played with Kobe — they call him the Black Mamba — but then he was doing like a little snake sound when he wanted the ball. It was crazy. It was crazy. It’s like tsssss, tsssss. Like fishing. Tsssss, tssss. He do that. Everybody tells you he’s gonna do it before you play him — like, ‘Wait till you hear him do this.’ And then he [does] it, and it’s like, what? He’s really a mamba. It sounds like some kind of snake.”
