Ever since Kobe Bryant was killed in a fatal helicopter crash in late January, stories have emerged from all corners of the globe adding to the former NBA star's legend. One such story came indirectly Thursday from, of all places, Chelsea.
The Premier League club passed along a tale from former Los Angeles Laker Adam Morrison, who was speaking to the Rejecting the Screen podcast about a special gift he received from Bryant: a game-worn, signed Didier Drogba Chelsea jersey. Morrison, evidently, has been a big Chelsea fan, and at a low point in his career, following his release from the Lakers in 2010, Bryant stepped up for him with a unique, personalized gift.
