Kobe Bryant treats Lakers team/staff to Thanksgiving Dinner and ping pong
By Mike Dyce
Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant signed a big two-year $48.5 million extension. He has defended that deal publicly despite some grumblings on Twitter.
The Lakers traveled to Detroit on Thanksgiving and Kobe Bryant treated the team and staff to Thanksgiving dinner. Afterwards there was some ping-pong playing, and some debate over who won.
Happy Turkey Day, folks. The Lakers will enjoy a team/staff dinner courtesy of @kobebryant upon arrival in Detroit later today.

First in line for food at Kobe’s Thanksgiving feast was Mychal Thompson, naturally. @LAIreland wasn’t far behind. pic.twitter.com/wavzxk2Cn7

Providing color commentary for Farmar vs. Williams? Nick Young, of course.
