And they both speak fluent Italian...which is a good thing in keeping conversations private.When I saw Kobe at the game, I just assumed that he must be there rooting for UCLA, considering he was a Laker for his entire professional career. But the picture with Geno got me thinking. Kobe is a Philly native. He and Geno probably go way back. Kobe was probably at the game to root for his buddy from the hood.
