Kobe Bryant a Catholic?

I almost didn’t go to church today but as I was sitting in the last pew at St. Mary’s Catholic Church on the River Walk, who should walk in but Kobe Bryant?  I’m serious.  He’s a Catholic?  I had no idea.  Even though he was late, he got communion and he prayed afterward. The Spurs better watch out! I hope they all went to church today, too.  They’re the good guys so I know they did.

I have to admit that Kobe was nice, signing autographs for little kids and although he did get to church late, it was refreshing to see him there. He had a little trainer-looking guy with him but no entourage.

See the little video I took of him with my flip camera. I’m such a dork! Of course I asked him to say hi to “Tejano Beat” but he completely ignored me. At least he didn’t push the camera away.  Check it out:
