It is no secret what a legend Kobe Bryant is. But did you know that he has also participated in several acting roles? In 2012 he was featured in the I Am Bruce Lee documentary, a film honoring Lee Jun-fan (known professionally as Bruce Lee) for his victories. Bryant has always had a fascination with martial arts and even admits that Bruce Lee is one of his greatest influencers. Back during his 2010 tour of Asia, he said that despite what people may think, Bruce Lee has a big part when it comes to basketball. He went on to explain the Chinese energy concept of Qi and its connection to not only martial arts but also basketball. Kobe was fascinated with this as well as Lee’s fighting style, which he tries to bring into his own basketball game.

Fans have wondered for years why Kobe Bryant has such weird tactics, including keeping his jersey in his mouth. Well, we agree with this and are interested to know where such a ritual stems from. He spoke to the LA times once and explained that although it is rather gross, its something he learned from his father. His dad once told him that when his mouth dries up, then he should suck up the sweat from his jersey and luckily for him this seems to work!
