What MADE Him Haute The All-World shooting guard for the Lakers will go down in history as one of the greatest players ever in the NBA.
What Makes Him Haute Now He’s going global. It was just announced that the LA Lakers will be playing some of their 2010/2011 preseason games in London’s O2 Arena. This will kick off with a game vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves on October 4, 2010. He also is gearing up for another show in the Olympic Games, and is preparing by playing for the U.S.’ team in the World Championships in Turkey during this summer’s off-season from the NBA. But Angelenos shouldn’t fret; Bryant just signed on for another two years with the Lakers for $80 million.
