When his not driving up the market for his services in Italy, Kobe Bryant loves his soccer. While in Turkey the Kobe-ster got a chance to “kick it” with the other team he likes besides Barcelona FC, which is Galatasaray and they really seemed to hit it off. Like the international rockstar he is, Kobe shook hands, took pictures, kiss baby’s (I assume), scored some penalty kicks and spoke a few languages to further endear himself to Europe and Istanbul.
If there was ever a player who could survive and thrive overseas during a lockout, it’s this dude.
