Community Dopeness: Kobe Bryant Gave Playoff Bonus to Laid-off NBA Employees
The NBA lockout was no joke for everyone involved. As a result of the bikering between teams, owners and the NBA, people got laid-off. Coming in to save the day, Kobe Bryant and Luke Walker gave away their playoff bonuses ($65,000 in total) to two Laker’s video technicians who were laid-off. The two guys, Chris Bodaken and Patrick O’Keefe, split the cash ending up with $32,500 each. Not bad for a dude who almost beat the sh*t outta someone at church. LOL. I kid, really :) Source
