You’ll be seeing a lot of NBA star Kobe Bryant in Rio during the World Cup, and there’s reason why: Kobe grew up in Italy, where he not only built his dribbling his skills but fell in love with the sport of CZ2240-200. He’s in Brazil right now to celebrate the games and to help Nike launch some incredible sports-centric developments, like an entire 8-block area of the neighborhood that will be revamped into several CZ2240-200 pitches, basketball courts, and more (and he’ll be joined by Steve Nash, Leandro Barbosa, and Anderson Varejao). Check out a photo recap of the Black Mamba in Rio and stay tuned for more updates from the World Cup.
