Kobe Bryant has been keeping busy during the NBA lockout by practicing his soccer skills.
During halftime of a friendly match between FC Barcelona and Manchester United in Washington, DC, Bryant scored a goal on a penalty kick.
After his goal, you might think he would consider switching sports and joining the MLS. Not so fast.
On the following day, Kobe Bryant took part in Mia Hamm's Celebrity Soccer Challenge to benefit her charitable foundation. He was probably looking forward to showing off his skills with Mia Hamm and U.S. Women's soccer star Alex Morgan.
He did manage to score a goal. Unfortunately, Kobe put the ball in his own team's net.
So, maybe Kobe should stick with basketball after all.
