Kobe Bryant was up in Boston to take on the Celtics on the hardwood but he found the time to talk a little football with the Super Bowl losers while he was there. Mr. Dancing with the Stars Rob Gronkowski was sitting courtside and the two shared a few words.
"I told him the Eagles need a tight end," joked Bryant, who grew up in
Philadelphia and remains an Eagles fan. "I'm recruiting. He's a freak
athlete. He shouted at me and I shouted back. It's fun to have those
conversations with athletes you respect."
