A couple of days ago, in honor of ‘Mamba Day,’ Kobe Bryant took to Twitter to challenge five well-known stars to accomplish different goals. Isaiah Thomas, DeMar DeRozan, Allyson Felix, Richard Sherman, and Kendrick Lamar all received challenges as part of Kobe’s marketing campaign for his new Kobe A.D. shoes.
One person who did not receive a challenge was Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo. The reigning Most Improved Player and an All-NBA Second Team player this season, Antetokounmpo tweeted out that he was waiting for his own challenge.
Kobe would eventually oblige as he responded to Antetokounmpo’s tweet, challenging him to win MVP this season:
That is quite the challenge coming from Kobe, a former MVP himself.
