Now that the dust is settling on Kobe Bryant‘s retirement and he sails off into the sunset, away from his 20 years as a Los Angeles Lakers superstar, he as made his way to The ELLEN Show to reflect on some of those memories playing basketball.
Of course, he was asked about the day he dropped 60 on the Utah Jazz to end his career, but he also talked a little about his family, which you don’t hear much about. He said he tried not to embarrass his girls by dancing on the show, but he can do a mean sit-down battle. He also revealed that one of his daughters is real competitive and might play volleyball, but the jury is out on whether they’ll be like their father and play ball on the court.
On the topic of playing with SHAQ, he joked how much they hated each other, but finally kept it 100 and said the two pushed each other when they played together.
KOBE AKA SIR SWEATS ALOT
Kobe also played a prank on an aesthetician, where he told her he would be drenched in sweat after every game and wanted her advice. Ellen was speaking to him through an ear piece and telling him what to say every step of the way.
