Throughout his 19-year career, Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant has taken a certain amount of glee in playing the role of villain, of wearing the black hat. Or in this case, mask.
With the latest, and possibly most hotly anticipated, Star Wars film releasing in theaters in a little more than a day, Kobe Bryant was asked for his opinion on the films after the Lakers' practice on Wednesday. After saying that "of course" he was a fan of the legendary sci-fi series and that he was excited for the latest installment, Bryant was asked which character from the films he would compare himself to.
