Kobe Bryant has gone from an old curmudgeon to an affable, gracious and giving star in his final days in the league.
His going away tour has resulted in a universal love fest for Kobe, even in arenas and cities that typically didn’t have a warm reception for the Black Mamba, such as Philadelphia, Boston and Sacramento.
He has been giving away signed pairs of his game worn shoes to opposing players after most games and last night he decided to sign his game worn shoes and give them away to a young Lakers fan in Denver….during the fourth quarter.

Bryant decided to sign and give away his shoes with 30 seconds left in the Lakers 117-107 loss to the Denver Nuggets Wednesday night.
Time will tell if this turns into a thing the next few months like the Cam Newton post TD celebration ball giveaway to a young fan. I foresee plenty of young Kobe fans waiting with bated breath to see if they are gifted with signed shoes from Kobe on his farewell tour.
