After the series of trailers used to advertise Kobe Bryant’s movie titled “The Black Mamba”, the ‘movie’ finally had its world premiere on Saturday, February 19.
It was released in conjunction with the NBA’s All-Star Weekend festivities.
The six-minute movie is actually a commercial for Kobe’s new line of shoes, the Nike Zoom Kobe VI.
As part of the NBA’s All-Star Weekend festivities on February 19, the day before the All-Star Game at Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, USA, Kobe Bryant will become the first athlete to have a hand and foot print ceremony at Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood [NBA.com News].
He is not a Hollywood actor but that is set to change because Kobe had filmed a “movie” with Bruce Willis, Kanye West and Machete star Danny Trejo. It was directed by the renowned Robert Rodriguez.

The LA Lakers three-peat quest begins!
In the 2008-09 NBA season, the purple and gold team defeated the Orlando Magic in the NBA Finals 4-1 on the way to its 15th NBA title while giving Kobe Bryant his 1st Finals MVP Award and 4th championship ring and Phil Jackson his record 10th title as a coach.
