Me: “I know it’s ya 40th Bday & all, BUT whenever you want to come out of retirement & play for the Lakers again it would be a gift to us all.” .. Kobe: “No, Brit!” . . Me: “Good Talk”. . Security: 🤐 . . 😂Happy Birthday to my favorite player since the 4th grade kobebryant & the reason I picked up a basketball! Truly an inspiration to so many hoopers including myself! Your’e one of the reason I continue to still play and not give up my love for the game through every injury! I hope you have an amazing day and you don’t look a day over 28 🤣! Thank you again nikelosangeles 🙏🏽📸- montyimages #Thankful #FavPlayer #BlackMamba #Nike #HappyBirthdayKobe #8 #24 #BestiesinMyHead #TheGoat #LakerNation
