Fantastic Photoshopping: The Kobe Mask Phenomenon

By | March 1, 2012|

Last night, Kobe Bryant pulled a new story to tell in his long 16 year career. No, he didn’t just pour in 62 points in 3 quarters versus the Mavs again nor did he annihilate the Toronto Raptors with another 81.

This time the opponent was the Minnesota Timberwolves and the new take here is the now famous Kobe Mask worned by the newly appointed Masked Mamba!

The internet has really gone to town with these and some hilarious photoshopping has begun to spring up in the last 24 hours.
