Kobe uses a personal helicopter to travel from his home to Staples center every day

[QUOTE=bdreason]You can get from John Wayne to LAX in 30 minutes unless it's primetime. It probably takes him that long to park, and get in and out of the chopper.[/QUOTE]
why would he go from john wayne to lax?

im sure he is going to a private place to get on the chopper and fly to downtown la. even when he takes it to practice, im sure there is another helipad over by all the buldings on nash street closer to the facility.

pfft this is nothing, Lebron flies to games in his own jet.

To see the helicopter ride.

[QUOTE=gyu]Maintaining the helicopter + paying the pilot >>>> owning a car

Of course Kobe is insanely rich so money is not an issue, but once he starts declining and get paid significantly less he'll start feeling the effects.[/QUOTE]

What's Kobe Bryant worth... My guess is that when he starts declining and is paid significantly less, no one will come and take away all of the money he's already made throughout his career, so chances are he'd still be able to afford the pilot and the helicopter maintenance.

Kobe is homophobic lol, my respect for him just skyrocketed

Well Dwight Howard flies to every game.

Well you can see he's flying in an R44, which costs about $300000. Maybe he bought a used one for a lower price hah.

Its always primetime on the 405. How many times have you driven there in 30 minutes, lol.

But he's not going to LAX. He's going to downtown L.A. BIG DIFFERENCE.

If he's got the money and wants to save time going to work, more power to him I say.
Though I somehow suspect that taking the helicopter to work is slightly more dangerous than going by car.

[QUOTE=DukeDelonte13]I hate traffic. That's why I could never live in NY or LA. 25 minutes versus 3 hours because of traffic? F that.[/QUOTE]

I can't speak for LA but the vast majority of cars driving or parked in NYC at any given time are owned by those who do not live in the city. People who live in Manhattan especially either take the Metro/Bus if they're normal people or have drivers if they are the top elite class.

Plus, I heard Boston traffic is no walk in the park either.

All we need now is to Photoshop Kobe in a Vietnam era helicopter behind a machine gun...

Ummm why is this a thread?

Barry Bonds use to fly to all his away games in a private jet and not with the team.

Well, its spreading the wealth and moving the economy :confusedshrug:

Have you guys noticed at 4:50 when they shake hands how hard they do it?

kobe doens't even flinch and yet he is supposed to have a broken finger.

LoL i like Kobe but he just got exposed
