Kobe Bryant’s Childhood Home in Philadelphia Area Has Been Sold

There is some Laker news that Kobe Bryant’s childhood home in the Philadelphia area has sold for $810,000. The Los Angeles Lakers are NBA champions. This was a great year for them to win the title. It has been a very difficult year for everyone. But the Lakers had to deal with not only the COVID situation but also the death of Kobe Bryant.

LeBron James was a big part of this title run for the Lakers. He talked about how hard it was to stay in the NBA bubble for so long.

“I am here for one reason and one reason only, and that’s to compete for a championship,” James said. “That was my mindset once I entered the bubble, once I entered the quarantine process the first two days. And then right from my first practice my mindset was to, if I’m going to be here, make the most of it and see what you can do and lock in on what the main thing is. And the main thing was for us to finish the season and compete for a championship.

“So that’s just been my mindset throughout these — I don’t even know how many days it is, whatever how many days it is, it feels like five years so it really doesn’t matter. I’ve been as locked in as I’ve ever been in my career.”
