He loves New York. The Philly-bred swingman by way of Los Angeles made his Uptown debut in 2002 wearing Uptowns. Donning the Nike Air Force 1 Mid White/Orange, this was Kobe Bryant?s first game at the Rucker and first Swoosh sighting since coming into the league. Bryant dazzled the EBC fans pulling out a plethora of streetball moves possibly picked up from his old AAU teammate God Shammgod. KB8 would impress but rain would end the game early and keep the scoring record distant.
