Kobe Bryant Playing Soccer During Lockout, Joins Mia Hamm’s Team

What’s Kobe Bryant, the LA Lakers star player, doing during the NBA Lockout? He’s playing soccer!

According to this Tout I ran across that was posted by Amy Jo Martin, the CEO of Digital Royalty, Kobe Bryant said that playing in the Mia Hamm & Nomar Garciaparra Celebrity Soccer Challenge on Sunday was the first time “I played soccer in 20 years,” he said.

Bryant was on a team with Alex Morgan, Mia Hamm, and Toby Keith. Hammm challenged her husband, Nomar Garciaparra’s team called “Nomar United.” The event drew other athletic celebrities, like Washington Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall.
