Kobe Bryant really likes Airplanes. Or money. Probably both.
The Lakers guard has endorsed airplanes before (see above), but now he's getting paid to do it. According to CNBC, Bryant has inked a two-year deal with Turkish Airlines, which will soon offer non-stop service from Los Angeles International Airport to Istanbul, Turkey.
As part of the deal Bryant will star in a promotional film to be used on international television and shown in movie theaters. Of course, an even bigger bonus is that Bryant will get to travel to Turkey for the first time. Wouldn't you know he's been dying to go.
"I've never been to Turkey," Bryant told CNBC. "But all the guys on the team in the league who have been keep saying it's one of the hottest places to go to."Here that? "Guys." Plural. So not just Allen Iverson.
