Kobe Bryant emerged out of the dark as he spent the past week recovering from the pain and medication surrounding a recent surgery on his right shoulder.
But this was not a time for Bryant to reflect on his injury that currently requires him wearing a sling to protect his shoulder. Or for Bryant to lament the Lakers’ current struggles. Or for him to provide optimism on the future bout about the Lakers’ rebuilding and his own recovery.
Bryant appeared Wednesday night on NBC’s “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” where the two reflected on how they both made an interesting beer run at a party back when they first emerged in their respective field and just settled in Los Angeles.
