Kobe Bryant is on a sneaker giveaway spree, and he only needs one requirement to reward anyone his game-worn kicks.
As per ESPN.com, the Mamba would give a pair of his Kobe 11s to anyone who dares to ask.
“Generally guys that got the cojones to ask, I give it to them,” Bryant told Baxter Holmes.
Bryant has signed at least 30 sneakers this season, in his farewell tour. Some were game-worn while others were fresh off the box. And if you’re really good, you’d get a yours with a personal message from one of the greatest basketball players of all time.
“I’ve got plenty of them back there, so I’m not going to run out, so it’s all good.”
Bryant gave superstars LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Paul George and also up-and-comers Draymond Green and Devin Booker.
Durant’s sneaker had “Be the greatest” and Green had “Be legendary.”
Memphis Grizzlies’ Tony Allen had his signed by Bryant with the words “best defender I ever faced.”
Bryant typically brings five pairs on road games but the demand for his shoes has forced him to bring seven.
