My favorite Kobe story was when I was in Portland, I got hurt. And leading up into this game, Kobe sprains his ankle. They asked me, am I going to play? And I was just like, nah, it's just not ready yet. Kobe was like, going to play if I was going to.
If I was going to suit up, he was going to play. And I was like, no way, he hurt his ankle too bad. He's obviously in the other locker room. You know, we know he's in the arena. Every camera follows him in. So I'm in the training and doing all my stuff.
I had a friend of mine. He works with Nike and then he worked with Kobe. And I was like, is Kobe going to play? He was like, if you play, he's playing. I'm like, I'm not playing. I said, ask Kobe when the teams go out to warm up. Can I come down and say, what's up?
Kobe said, yeah, come down there. So I'm all nervous and I walk all the way down the hallway. So he hops up off the table and he's like, B-Roy, come here. And I went to dap him and he like gave me like a bear hug. And I was just like, this is Kobe.
We ended up sitting there talking, joking the whole second half of the game. That was like, damn, I'm meeting, you know, my idol and I get to hang out with him.
