Kobe Bryant invited to Camp Nou
www.fcbarcelona.cat
Los Angeles Lakers’ star Kobe Bryant has been invited to go to Camp Nou and watch a game as the guest of the club by president Joan Laporta.
The Blaugrana took advantage of a move by the Cofradía del Cava Sant Sardurní (the Sant Sadurní Cava Association) when they went to California to make Pau Gasol a Member of Honour and sent out the invitation.
Passion for Barça
Bryant is one of the major stars of work basketball and is known to be a big fan of
football. With that interest in mind Barça have asked Gasol to pass n the invitation to his
team-mate at the Lakers.
During the 2006 tour of the USA Bryant had his first encounter with the club and a year later he visited the Mini Estadi to see the first team players whilst on holiday in the Ciutat Contal. This term, Regal FC Barceona went over the States and played the Byrant and the Lakers, losing by only 108-104, and now the club have asked him to fly over and see a game.
A special present
Along with the invitation to see a game, Bryant was given a football signed by the entire first
team squad and he could add to the signed photo of Lionel Messi that he already owns.
