Kobe Bryant, 68 points in  a Chinese celebrity game

Its the NBA off season, last year most of the players were finding things to do and exhibition games of NBA players were just a common thing. this year its different as NBA players are back to their usual agenda, for   Kobe Bryant that means touring the world. Kobe Bryant and Team USA recently won the gold medal in the Olympics but it does not mean that Kobe is done getting more gold and cash. Kobe Bryant recently played in a celebrity exhibition game in China and it looks like he think that he is still playing in the Olympics. Kobe Bryant dropped 68 points, China Celebrity game.

Here is what Kobe has to say:

" The Sprite China 2nd Annual Charity Basketball game was a ton of fun. We played two 15 min halves with a running clock. I watched from the bench for the first half. We were trailing by 9 when I was notified that fans via text can choose a team to add 20 additional points to their tally!!! We were now down 29!! I wanted to play it cool but what the heck, the place was packed with fans who’d sang an early happy birthday to me and really wanted to watch me go to work. My teammates were down. They are all singers/actors and do not play ball much AT ALL, but they are very successful at what they do hence they are VERY competitive. They asked if I could bring them back in the second half..

I didn’t want to disappoint them or the fans that had paid their hard earned money for a show so I took the challenge of really using the second half as a training session for my stamina. I ran and ran and ran. I wound up scoring 68 in the 2nd and we won. Like I said, they are not basketball players by any stretch of the imagination. I was just having fun with all of them and loved hearing the crowd enjoy the show we put on." - Kobe
