Kobe Bryant was put in an awkward situation earlier this week.
Signing fan kicks is a big part of having a signature shoe deal, even if you are presented with a rival athlete's kick instead of your own. Kobe did the right thing for his young fan and signed the LeBron 9 "Pink" kick after a recent Team USA practice session. And while some folks may disagree, we commend The Black Mamba for sucking up his ego and making the little Lakers fan's day.
