Kobe Bryant tells a childhood story that perfectly sums up life in Italy.
“We didn’t live in any major cities, so I think we got the authentic side of Italy. Mothers made lasagna from scratch, everybody knew everybody, and it almost felt like we were living in a typical Italian movie.”
“I remember one time my sister had just gotten a brand-new bright orange mountain bike. Back then, mountain bikes with gear shifts were a big deal, so you definitely weren’t going to lose track of one.”
“We all rode our bikes to a store, and my sister ran into some friends. She started talking to them, got caught up, and completely forgot about her bike. She left with them and didn’t realize it until she got home.”
“By then, it was already nighttime, so we went to sleep. We came back the next day, and the mountain bike was still sitting there. It wasn’t chained up or anything. It was just leaning against the wall exactly where she left it.”
