KOBE BRYANT IN ROME: FANS FLOCK TO THE NIKE STORE IN THE VIA DEL CORSO: 29 September 2011

For his second day in Italy, Kobe Bryant flew into Rome this morning, following his appearance on the live broadcast of the Deejay Chiama Italia show on the radio station Radio Deejay.

Following the triumphal reception he received from fans in Milan, the basketball star made a stop at the Stella Azzurra field, where 16 of the 97 best players in Italy were participating at the Nike Elite Basketball Camp with a chance to practice with, and compete against, two NBA stars: Kobe Bryant and Andrea Bargnani.

Kobe gave advice to the up-and-coming Italian players, who did their best to steal some of his secrets of the game. At the end of the practice session, Kobe fielded a barrage of questions from the youngsters and then wrapped up his attendance at Stella Azzurra with a thundering dunk, followed by a 1-on-1 with one of the participants, who wanted to see how he measured up against his idol.

Kobe then proceeded directly to the Nike Store in the Via del Corso, where he met with a few lucky young fans for an autograph and photo session.
