Two months after the sad demise of NBA legend Kobe Bryant, his Instagram account has come up with a new post.
While it might initially seem baffling, a further look into the post shows that it was a promotional post from the publisher of his book. Writer Wesley King created a book on the world of basketball in collaboration with the legendary Bryant.
Unfortunately, the book, The Wizenard Series, had to be launched in the absence of Bryant.
