Ex-Tampa Bay Buccaneer Keyshawn Johnson recently opened up on how Kobe Bryant helped him find his signature as a pro athlete when they flew together in a private jet going to Portland, Oregon heading to a meeting with sports brand Adidas.
Kobe Bryant instructed Keyshawn Johnson on how to sign autographs
The former NFL wide receiver and Super Bowl winner Keyshaw Johnson attended the FOX Sports' "All Facts No Breaks" podcast and opened up about the time Kobe showed him the ropes on how to do consecutive and constant signing.
Johnson began "Kobe was a person who taught me how to sign my autograph. Because we were flying together on a private jet to Portland, Oregon to do something for Adidas, some sort of event."
"And we had memorabilia we needed to sign before we landed. And I don't know it might have been 30 different items. Basketball, football, maybe it was like some jerseys or something." He remembered.
With a big smile, Johnson added "He had started when I started but he had finished way before me because I was putting my entire name in the number. And he just was right and Kobe was eight. So, I asked him, 'Kobe man, how the hell did you finish so fast?'
Both Johnson and Bryant managed to achieve the highest honor in their respective sports, Keyshawn won Super Bowl 37 with the Buccaneers against the Oakland Raiders back in 2003, while Bryant won five NBA titles with the Lakers where he played a total of 21 seasons.
"He's like, 'What are you doing?' And he leaned over he's like, 'Well, that's the problem right there.' I have my whole name. And he was like, 'Man, you gotta just shorten it to Keyshawn.' I shortened it to Keyshawn and my number." Johnson concluded.
