Lakers Icon As A Kid At Phillies-Mets Game…
Seeing young kids spot their heroes in action is like watching a dog realize it’s chasing its own tail—an exhilarating moment of pure joy and determination! Not many kids get to see legends like Kobe Bryant or LeBron James up close, but witnessing them can inspire them to aim for the stars. Imagine being a kid in the ’90s and randomly becoming a future basketball icon like young Kobe, who was spotted at a 1990 Phillies-Mets baseball game. Yes, before Kobe was a celebrity, he was just a kid rocking Superman pajamas cheering on his own hero, Darryl Strawberry, smacking a home run!
A video has unearthed this rare footage of young Kobe, standing there grinning wider than a Cheshire Cat swimming in a pool of cream, as he watched his baseball hero hit it out of the park. In an interview, Kobe shared his admiration for the Mets and Strawberry, adding a touch of irony to the moment since he later became a Lakers superstar. It’s a reminder that even when stars are tiny, they dream big, just like any of us. So, grab your program and soda, and travel back to those epic days when capturing such moments were as mythical as unicorns at a rock concert!
