Bryant is famous for not getting along with other superstars on the court (i.e. Shaq and Dwight Howard), but he gets along great with a player in a different sport! Puig got the chance to hang out with Kobe Bryant while he rehabbed his torn Achilles.  Puig, who is still working on his English, looked like he hit it off with Bryant.  Bryant then tweeted that he appreciated the visit and would be in attendance for tonight’s Dodger-Yankees game.  Screen shot 2013-07-31 at 5.36.40 PM

Puig also spent time with Lakers’ general manager Mitch Kupchak.  Puig is the most talked about player baseball who is not connected with the Biogenesis scandal.  While Puig’s career is just taking off, Bryant faces the real possibility of retirement for the first time in his career.
