Heres an exerpt from the cover story:
So fame is a funny thing. You’re an icon around the world, and I know success brings you to these kind of Forrest Gump moments where you’re in the mix of history.
Kobe Bryant: The “How the hell did I get here?”…
Right. Besides going to the prom with Brandy—
Kobe Bryant: [Laughs.] That’s funny.
Besides that, tell me a Forrest Gump moment.
Kobe Bryant: This summer with the Olympics, that was pretty crazy, man. We’d go to the cafeteria in the Olympic Village—which is only for the Olympic athletes, nobody else was allowed in there—and see all these great athletes and I recognize all of ’em, ’cause I’m a sports buff just like anybody else. That was that moment where I was just like, Damn, this is pretty cool.
I don’t know if people understand how amazing China is. I was in Beijing recently, and every time I’ve gone there for the last decade, it blows my mind. Is there anything you bought there that was really special?
Kobe Bryant: We didn’t have a chance to [shop]. Everything we bought was Olympic-related.
You didn’t buy any bootleg shit?
Kobe Bryant: [Mock-shocked] No, I didn’t buy any movies! I didn’t buy Kanye’s album that just came out! I didn’t buy that! [Laughs.]
