Kobe Bryant ‘completely disagrees’ with Kanye West saying slavery was ‘a choice’

Former Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant and rapper Kanye West appear to have come a long way from their “Kobe System” commercials and West selling “I feel like Kobe” shirts.

In light of recent comments from West in which he indicated that he felt that slavery was “a choice,” Bryant — who has become far more outspoken politically as he’s gotten older, did not mince words while speaking to a classroom of L.A. area high school students at the “We Rise LA” event (via TMZ Sports):

“Completely disagree,” Kobe explained.
