funny kobe stories

At a press conference, a reporter asked Kobe a really odd question about his pre - game rituals. Kobe gave a really long, elaborate and completely made - up story about how he had to dance around a pole three times and sing a song in a made - up language. The whole room burst out laughing at his creativity and sense of humor.

Kobe once told a story about how he and his teammates played a prank on their coach. They hid all of the coach's playbooks and replaced them with joke books filled with silly pictures and corny jokes. When the coach opened what he thought was his playbook during a timeout, he was completely bewildered, and Kobe and the guys were trying hard not to laugh on the bench.

A well - known story is when Kobe was shooting around before a game. He made a bet with a ball boy that if he missed his next three - pointer, he would give the ball boy his shoes. Kobe missed, and true to his word, he took off his shoes right there and handed them to the astonished ball boy.

During a Lakers game, there was a timeout and the cheerleaders were doing their routine. Kobe, in a very light - hearted moment, tried to mimic some of their dance moves. His attempt was quite clumsy compared to the professional cheerleaders, but it made the whole stadium laugh. It was a side of Kobe that not many people saw often, his ability to be silly and have fun. Also, there was an incident where he was in a press conference and the microphone wasn't working properly. He started making funny faces and joking about how his voice was being 'blocked' by the mic. It was a great moment to relieve the tension in the room.

One funny story is when Kobe tried to learn Italian during his time in Italy as a kid. He butchered some of the words so hilariously while trying to order food at a local trattoria. The locals found it endearing and it became a running joke among his family and the people in the neighborhood.

Once Shaq tried to prank Kobe by putting salt in his water bottle instead of sugar. When Kobe took a big swig, he spat it out immediately. Shaq was laughing so hard that he almost fell over. Kobe then chased Shaq around the locker room for a while in mock anger.

There was a time during practice. Shaq was trying to do one of Kobe's signature fade - away jump shots. He waddled up to the basket with his big frame, took the shot, and completely missed. Then he blamed it on Kobe's shoes that he borrowed, saying they were too small for his 'giant feet', and Kobe just shook his head and laughed.

I'm not sure specifically which story Shaq tells. It could be about their time on the court together, like some locker room pranks or on - court banter during games.

It could be a story about their travels together for away games. You know, like when they were on a long flight and Kobe did something out of the ordinary. Maybe he was trying to sleep in a really strange position or had some really strict diet requirements on the plane that led to a funny moment. Shaq could be laughing about how particular Kobe was even in those situations.

I'm not sure which specific story Shaq tells. There could be many funny anecdotes between them from their time as teammates. Maybe it was about some on - court pranks or off - court banter.
