Kobe Bryant flew in to Los Angeles late Wednesday night to be there when free agent Carmelo Anthony visits with the Lakers. Kobe only played in six games last season and likely will need to prove to ‘Melo that he’s in playing shape to make the Lakers a more attractive destination.
But is Kobe in playing shape?
Aside from the lower body problems that have plagued him over the past few years, recent photos from Kobe’s European vacation might indicate that he’s put on some weight. Or they might not. It’s hard to tell, honestly.
Like anyone who has ever tried online dating knows, sometimes pictures lie. There’s no question that these grainy, Bigfoot-esque photos paint Kobe in an unflattering light but there’s also a lot of shadows in question here so I’m skeptical.
Plus, it’s Kobe. Kobe don’t get fat.
