Kobe Bryant’s cousin plays for Venezuela and put up a Kobe Bryant statline against Team USA

Yes, I know you're shocked. Kobe has a family? Yes, he does. John Cox was born in Philly as well, as his dad's sister is married to Joe "Jellybean" Bryant, Kobe's dad. John Cox's dad, John "Chubby" Cox, also played in the NBA. Weird that both sides of the family made it to the NBA, but hey, it happened.


On Monday night, Team USA took on Venezuela in pool play in the 2016 Rio Olympics. He definitely took a few "Kobe" shots and I appreciate that. He scored 19 points on 20 shots, going 6-of-20 from the field. So Kobe.

box score
He also wears Kobe's while he plays, which I would too if I was KB's cousin.

Here he is showing off new Kobe's. I'd like to assume he has an endless supply of them in every colorway possible.


There aren't any photos of the two together (we know of), but we have do have tweets so you know it's real.

In the end, USA Basketball defeated Venezuela, 113-69, and Kobe choose Team USA over his family. I kid, I kid. Kind of.

There's a reason he's not in the NBA.


Good luck with Venezuela Cox...

FYI:
Kobe Bryant credited with reshaping culture of USA Basketball, helping lead team to 2008, 2012 gold medals




Quote:
Bryant’s offseason routine was already legendary among his Lakers teammates with endless tales of his uncompromising work ethic. This marked the first time many of the NBA’s other top stars were able to witness it. So it only seemed fitting that Bryant cemented the same reputation with the U.S. Olympic team, beginning with his intensive training regimen when Team USA practiced in Las Vegas nearly nine years ago.

Might have something to do with his dad being known as "Chubby Cox".

6'5" 210 lbs Combo Guard

But he just turned 35 and plays in Venezuela.

Not exactly the 2nd best pro league in the world.

This is probably the most outrageous demonstration of the least amount of awareness I've ever seen on this site.

Perfect example of someone needing their dad, grandad, big brother, or even Uncle Joe to slap you upside your head right now.
