Kobe Bryant’s daughter and Chris Paul’s son play basketball together
If you squint really hard, cock your head to the left and wear extra strong prescription glasses, you can almost imagine what could have been a reality.
On Sunday during NBA All-Star weekend in Houston, Kobe Bryant tweeted a photo of his daughter Natalia playing basketball with Chris Paul’s son, known as Little Chris.
“At least lil @CP3 and baby Mamba can play together NBA can’t veto this one Ha!,” Bryant wrote.
Bryant was poking fun at David Stern’s decision to nix a deal that would have sent Paul to the Lakers. After Stern vetoed the trade, Paul landed with the Clippers.
Paul has helped transform the Clippers from a punch line to a title contender. The Clippers are in third place in the Western Conference -- meanwhile the Lakers are floundering in 10th place.
After Stern prevented Paul from becoming a Laker, many Lakers fans were infuriated. Apparently even Bryant still wonders what could have happened if the two superstars were teammates.
