Kobe Bryant showed up at the Patriots’ OTAs on Wednesday. It was a surprise visit, per USA TODAY Sports.
Some players shared photos with the future Basketball Hall of Famer on social media. This comes just months after Bryant was screaming profanities in front of a TV while cheering for the Eagles as he watched them beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl.

Even as a Philly fan, Bryant has been a fan of the greatness of Tom Brady, and Brady has been a fan of his, as well. Perhaps the former Laker was simply there to show respect for the dominance of the Patriots, though Brady wasn’t there.
But surely Bryant gloated a little about the Eagles taking them down, right?
Pats stars Brady and Rob Gronkowski haven’t been at the voluntary OTAs (Brady was actually in Monaco this past weekend).
