The Assist: Kobe Bryant poses with Rob Gronkowski following Lakers vs. Celtics [photo]

In a throwback rivalry game last night, the Lakers faced off against the Boston Celtics. The Lakers won this game in overtime (SLOPPY play) but in the crowd, a few Patriots including, TE Rob Gronkowski. After the game, Rob posed for a photo with Kobe Bryant who admitted that he was trying to recruit Gronk for “his” team, the Philadelphia Eagles.

Also pictured, Rob’s father Gordy Gronkowski. Rob wasn’t the only Patriot snapping photos, Brandon Spikes also made sure to get a quick flick with the Black Mamba. It’s only right, Kobe said he was pulling for the Patriots in the Super Bowl.
