If Kobe Bryant played guitar for U2, Bono would totally have to carry his bags.
That’s just how popular five-time NBA champ Kobe Bryant is and the legend of Mamba will grow even more when he becomes the first athlete to have his hand and foot imprinted in front of the world-famous Grauman’s Chinese Theater on Feb. 19.
“To be a part of such elite company is a tremendous honor. I’m proud to be the first athlete to be recognized,” Bryant said in a statement.
Bryant will join actors such as Marilyn Monroe, Brad Pitt, Denzel Washington, Will Smith, Harrison Ford and Robert Downey Jr. in receiving the cement distinction in front of the theater located on Hollywood Boulevard.
