Personal


This page contains a personal basketball curiosity.

Former teammates: Kobe Bryant, Libertas Pistoia, Italy. Seasons 1987-88, 1988-89.

This is Kobe (yes, that Kobe) at the Cutigliano Basket Summer Camp, Tuscan Apennines, in September 1989. Pre-season conditioning (I hated the morning runs).

Joe Bryant, Kobe’s father, played in my city’s team at the time. I got these from a blog. Still looking for other pics from old teammates. I believe Kobe is the only one in the team who made it to the NBA.

This is Kobe (#20) and my brother, Gianni, (#11). Kobe trained with both my team (2 years older than he was) and my brother’s team (1 year older).

Finally, here is Kobe, me (to his left) and my brother (to his right) at our summer house for my cousin’s birthday (Kobe and my cousin were classmates).

Rest In Peace, Kobe and Gianna.
