Kobe Bryant and Kobe beef have more in common than you’d think.
Kobe seriously pursued a rap career, which culminated with a single appropriately titled "K.O.B.E."
And yes, that's Tyra Banks singing the hook.
He speaks fluent Italian.
As well as conversational French and Serbian.
It's well known that he was the first guard in NBA history to be drafted straight out of high school, but he was first drafted to the Hornets, not the Lakers.
His agent simply said Kobe playing for Charlotte would be "an impossibility," and Kobe's been an L.A. man ever since.

Kobe took R&B singer Brandy to his high school prom.
So he's a baller on and off the court.
