This is the mask Kobe Bryant will wear in tonight’s game against the Pistons.
Now in addition to haunting opposing defenses, he can also haunt the dreams of young children.
I’m starting to wonder if he told Dwyane Wade to break his nose on purpose.
UPDATE: The Black Mamba did not care for the black mask after all. Kobe went back to the clear mask midway through the second quarter.

What’s the most appropriate A.K.A. for KOBE ‘the black mamba’ BRYANT on the mask? Likes people!
The Masked Mamba was the first.
Then I’ve read of
-BATMAMba
-Dark Mamba/ Purple Knight
What’s yours?
I think Kobe should give the black mask another chance in the game against the Wizards. It is bad@#$%
How about Phantom of the Opera Mamba? Or just Phantom Mamba….
How about the Phantom of Staples or The Phantom of LA
