Brandon Roy’s FAVORITE Kobe Story
00:00:00.000 | My favorite Kobe story was when I was in Portland, I got hurt.
00:00:03.080 | And leading up into this game, Kobe sprains his ankle.
00:00:05.620 | They asked me, am I going to play?
00:00:06.780 | And I was just like, nah, it's just not ready yet.
00:00:08.980 | Kobe was like, going to play if I was going to.
00:00:11.220 | If I was going to suit up, he was going to play.
00:00:12.780 | And I was like, no way, he hurt his ankle too bad.
00:00:14.740 | He's obviously in the other locker room.
00:00:16.560 | You know, we know he's in the arena.
00:00:17.740 | Every camera follows him in.
00:00:19.460 | So I'm in the training and doing all my stuff.
00:00:21.100 | I had a friend of mine.
00:00:22.020 | He works with Nike and then he worked with Kobe.
00:00:23.720 | And I was like, is Kobe going to play?
00:00:25.080 | He was like, if you play, he's playing.
00:00:27.000 | I'm like, I'm not playing.
00:00:28.040 | I said, ask Kobe when the teams go out to warm up.
00:00:30.460 | Can I come down and say, what's up?
00:00:31.920 | Kobe said, yeah, come down there.
00:00:33.440 | So I'm all nervous and I walk all the way down the hallway.
00:00:35.520 | So he hops up off the table and he's like, B-Roy, come here.
00:00:38.820 | And I went to dap him and he like gave me like a bear hug.
00:00:42.300 | And I was just like, this is Kobe.
00:00:44.220 | We ended up sitting there talking, joking the whole second half of the game.
00:00:48.580 | That was like, damn, I'm meeting, you know, my idol and I get to hang out with him.
