Kobe - 2009 Tour of Asia



Kobe Bryant is doing a tour of Asia this summer. You can follow this via Facebook's Nike Basketball page.

Kobe's already been to Manila, Singapore, and Taipei.

Having grown up in the Magic and Kareem era here in LA, I was witness to the 5 championships in the 80s. But only really remember the 87 and 88 ones. I had those cartoon shirts back in the day. Some of my fondest members of my late grandfather was that we watched a lot of Lakers and UCLA basketball back in the 80s.

It's pretty awesome that Kobe is making Asia a focus. It would be awesome to see a Taiwan born player in the NBA, but it's very very unlikely. But you never know.
