By Alex Torres
Kobe Bryant has some free time in his hands since the season has been over for over a month. The Mamba is accustomed to playing at this time of year, but the Lakers have not been good in a while.

Today, Bryant chose to catch some live basketball before Game 5 of the NBA Finals. The five-time NBA champion was in the same building where he dominated hundred of opponents on the hardwood, the Staples Center. However, this time he was not sinking jumpers all over the court, Bryant was in attendance to watch the Sparks take on the Seattle Storm.
Magic Johnson is a co-owner of the Sparks and thanked Bryant for coming to the game and showing support to the players:
Thanks to the great @kobebryant for coming out and supporting the @LA_Sparks today! The players and fans were very excited!

The Sparks would end up losing the game by six after getting off to a fast start in the first half, but at least they got to play in front of a basketball legend. Magic was thrilled to have the Mamba in attendance and went on Twitter to share it with his 2.6 million followers.
Kobe’s next stop should be Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers have championship aspirations, but have come up short that last couple of years. Clayton Kershaw should talk to Kobe about dominating in the post-season and performing during crunch time, the Mamba has learned a thing or two during his 19 year career.
