Kobe Bryant's World Cup adventure continued on Tuesday, with the Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard taking in the day's match between Brazil and Mexico.
FIFA.com asked Kobe about his love of soccer, and his answer might be a little surprising.
"I am actually [a huge fan]." he said. "I grew up in Italy. From the age from six to 14 I played soccer every day. It is actually my favorite sport."
In his defense, with all the hours of practice and watching tape, it would be hard not to get pretty sick of the game of basketball.
