Kobe Bryant Signs a Tunisian Player’s Shoe (VIDEO)

The future Hall-of-Famer gives one Tunisian player something to celebrate.

Most people would be devastated after having lost by 47 points in front of the entire world. But not Mohamed Hadidane, a power forward for Tunisia, who gleefully asked Kobe Bryant to sign his right shoe following Team USA’s latest Olympic cakewalk.

    Well, he did have Kobe´s nike shoe on, so I guess it´s kind of fitting. Besides, if I was playing against Team USA, I would´ve loved to get everybody´s autograph.

    In ALL honesty…..can u blame dude. Think about it, when will he EVER be in Kobe’s presence again? That’s a glass ADR on top of the mantle above the fireplace type thing for someone from….wherever they’re from.

    Yea, I’d say if Kobe’s been his favourite player growing up, it must have been the best day of his life (even after losing by 47).

    I would imagine, not knowing if Tunisia has a pro league or not, and given the fact that Tunisia isn’t considered a powerhouse in bball, that these guys lead “normal” lives. Playing against some of the greatest bball players to ever play the game is a once in a lifetime experience. If India, my motherland, ever made it and played against the US, I would think it would be the same thing, and I d@mn sure would be doing the same.

    Can’t blame him at all, he looked overjoyed. And kudos to Kobe for being a good sport and obliging.

    This is Kobe’s last Olympics, and I’m pretty sure he grew up watching the guy so I don’t blame him at all.

    Tunsinia won the Africa Tourney I read, so at the very least they’re pro. @da-meat-hook That sir, was a win

    I got Rick Fox’s autograph after I saw him in “Oz.” What, did he also play basketball or something?

  • http://slamonline.com LakeShow

    ^No, he’s famous mostly for ‘Oz’ and being married to a singer lady. He was also a Lakers mascot for a little while.

  • MtotheS

    Fox was the man. You guys can hate but he was on championship rosters.
