Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant teamed FC Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola & friends for Mia Hamm’s celebrity soccer game at Kastles Stadium on D.C.’s Southwest Waterfront. The Mia Hamm Foundation organized the Garrett soccer game which is named after Mia’s late brother, Garrett, who died in 1997 from a bone marrow disease. The funds raised went directly to bone marrow transplant patients and their families. After the jump check out video of Kobe playing futbol in his Barca jersey.
Kobe Bryant said that it’s fantastic to wear the Barça shirt. It wasn’t the first time that he had worn it but it feels great.
