Kobe Bryant Gift Guide: 10 items for the Kobe fanatic in your life
By Frank Urbina
Find yourself missing the good ole’ Black Mamba days? You’ve come to the right place, Los Angeles Lakers fans! We present our Kobe Bryant gift guide.
The Los Angeles Lakers may be in the midst of a rebuild, but we can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. With Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka leading the way, the days of Los Angeles fighting for better lottery positioning will soon be over. Nonetheless, sometimes it’s easy to reminisce on the old days — you know, like when the Black Mamba was winning titles for the Lake Show? If you find yourself nostalgic for that era, you’ve come to the right place, as we have a Kobe Bryant gift guide ready just for you.
If you don’t see anything you like, then check out the amazing Black Mamba selection over at Fanatics. Let’s get into it.
