Kobe Bryant Welcomed The Chargers To Los Angeles At Their First Meeting Of Training Camp

There aren’t many athletes who are more synonymous with one city that Kobe Bryant is with Los Angeles. Even though he isn’t from the west coast originally, Kobe spent his entire career wearing the purple and gold and is one of the best players in Laker history. He helped bring the franchise five rings and carved out a legendary career that will be enshrined in the Hall of Fame as soon as possible.

So it makes sense that Kobe would be the perfect person to welcome a new team to the city. That happened on Saturday, when he showed up to the Los Angeles Chargers‘ first team meeting during their first camp since the big move to the City of Angels.

The best part was listening to the reaction in the room, especially as Kobe was in front of everyone and professional athletes were just giggling because of how cool this was.

This is especially true for Philip Rivers, who was locked in to whatever Kobe was saying.

Kobe has always been known for being a big supporter of the “other” football, but above all else, he’s an ambassador for the city of Los Angeles. Plus he’s always looking for more athletes to embrace the Kobe System, so he was probably stoked to get the chance to address the Chargers for that reason, too.
