P.J. Rose Meets Kobe Bryant, Has 'Surreal' Moment, Picture To Cherish
(CBS) Prior to his farewell game in Chicago on Sunday night that ended in a 126-115 loss, Lakers legend Kobe Bryant took a few moments to chat with Bulls point guard Derrick Rose and meet his son, 3-year-old P.J, for the first time.
One particular moment was captured beautifully by Chicago Tribune photographer Nuccio DiNuzzo, who snapped a great photo of Bryant fist-bumping with P.J.
Bryant, Rose and P.J. also posed for a picture as well.
Aftward, Rose was was effusive in his praise of Bryant and what the moment meant to himself and P.J. Rose plans to get a picture from the experience blown up and framed for P.J.'s room, he said. Rose called the moment "surreal" and something to "cherish."
"Come on now," Rose said. "For a little kid who's three, being able to meet Kobe, of course he don't know how big the moment is, but for him to have that in the archives is pretty cool. That's something we're probably going to blow up and have it painted or blow the picture up and have it in his room. We got to make the most of that. That's Kobe, man, and that's the last game. That's pretty cool."
