Kobe Bryant Shares Name with a Type of Beef
“Kobe” except for the name of the famous American basketball player, is also Japan’s fifth largest city and also a type of beef meal. The meal itself is considered as one of the many Japanese high-class gourmet foods and is on the rather expensive side. Prepared from a special type of Wagyuu cattle and according to an old tradition, it is one of the most famous types of Japanese meat. The parents of the LA Lakers star player decided to choose exactly this name because they saw the delicious food on the menu of a restaurant they ate at right before Kobe Bryant’s birth.
This is a second occurrence of food-themed name in the Bryant family. The father of the player, also an NBA player in his younger days, was often referred to as”Jellybean”. However, let’s face it – one thing is being nicknamed as food, while a whole other one to have it in your birth certificate!
