Kobe: "Go Red Sox"

Posted by Chris Forsberg, Boston.com Staff June 16, 2008 01:59 AM

LOS ANGELES -- Just a few days after Kobe Bryant responded to Curt Schilling's comments with a simple, "Go Yankees!" reply, the Lakers superstar briefly changed his tune.

Told David Ortiz had been spotted wearing a Kobe Bryant jersey after a game between the Celtics and Pistons, Bryant first responded in disbelief before adding, "Go Red Sox," which drew laughter from the media during his postgame press conference following Sunday's Game 5 win at the Staples Center.

Bryant quickly added, "Things change in two days. I'm obviously joking. I'm a die-hard Yankees fan."

    It was actually Game 2 of The Finals in 2004. Lakers versus Detroit. Not Game 2 of Celtics / Pistons. I should have made that clear in the question.
