Earlier this week, Kobe Bryant played in Philadelphia for the last time ever (unless the Lakers and 76ers make it to the NBA Fi…hahaha) and, of course, everyone showed up for it. For the first time in *tries to remember the last time the Sixers were actually good*, Wells Fargo Arena was sold out. And amongst those in attendance were a bunch of Kobe’s old high school teammates.
Kobe’s old high school point guard Evan Monsky, who does work for CSN Philly, was one of those teammates who showed up for the game, and he went about trying to track Kobe down. In the video above, you’ll see that he eventually did it and actually got to speak with Kobe on camera for a few minutes. But while tracking Kobe down, he also came across quite a few of their former teammates, and they talked about the annoying questions that people still ask them when they find out that they played with Kobe. You know, stuff like, “Did he ever pass you the ball?!”
The entire video is worth a watch—Monsky is a funny guy—but to see Monsky talking to some of Kobe’s old teammates, fast-forward to the 7:15 mark. Shout out to the guy who is still waiting for Kobe to return his old Orlando Magic shorts. LOL.
