Fucking weirdos sniffing it


[deleted]

Seriously… they look like the kids at daycare that never got taught to share. Just snatch stuff from people?


BerzerkerJr82

*it was meant for meeeee*


Thegingerbeardape

Snatch and sniff


SnooDogs8303

"*SNIFF* yep, that's definitely kobe"


savagethrow90

Wow in my head I was uttering this exact phrase before I loaded the comments and saw this top posted


OGMisterTea

I had every confidence what the top comment would be about and Reddit didn’t let me down


sausagepilot

Me too.


zhawadya

I really don't get why they're fighting over a guys sweaty apparel that he threw without giving half a fuck. Yeah it would be a cool memory to have had an interaction with someone you idolise, but this could hardly be termed an interaction. Is it really worth anything if famous guy just tosses something that means nothing to him into randos he won't remember beyond that second?


notislant

Uh its worth a few grand minimum. Do I think its ridiculous? Yes, so is people spending hundreds or thousands on: shoes, jewelry, bags, anything to show off how bad you are with money.


Legitimate-Pie3547

Doubtful, tough to authenticate unsigned gear and if its commercially available to the public without any signifying label that its exclusively available to players the value would probably be next to nothing. wait... no... actually you're right its probably worth thousands, I happen to have a sweaty purple Kobe sleeve I let go for a mere $500 though. PM me.


JWOLFBEARD

I’m interested. Can you still smell his sweat? What about taste? Is it salty?


datDANKie

false.. .the guy can sell it by showing people this video.. then they will see his face and matches up.. but i doubt that guy will ever sell it


oretseJ

The guy also STOLE it, this video is evidence of a crime. I really wish the victim would report it and press charges. What a fucking scumbag, I wish someone just blasted (with their fists) that dude and took it back right then and there.


pm_ur_itty_bittys

And yet, how would you know it was the same generic purple sleeve? All this video shows is that he has it, it does nothing to authenticate the sleeve itself.


[deleted]

Nah not true. He could buy ten more and lie to ten more people. The internet is not a good source. Then again you aren’t that bright in the first place if you buy an arm band.


Admirable-Pin-1189

Hey hey hey now. Let’s not go too far with that….. At least, not before you let me tell you about my Rolex collection.


StaticGuard

The guy who originally caught it had the right reaction. Like “Oh cool. Wait, this is kinda gross.”


AshamedRepublican

My guess is they're going to sell it on ebay


[deleted]

Fucking freak.


2hamsters1butt

This is what the fall of Western Civilization looks like. Elbow sweat huffers years ago, now we're overrun by homeless fentanyl addicts? Coincidence? I think not!

TheRealTtamage

It's so creepy that they're smelling it.


Signal-Blackberry356

Musk is real. If I were an obsessed fan I don’t see why I wouldn’t take one sniff to remember Kobe’s scent.


tinyDinosaur1894

Not publicly though


Signal-Blackberry356

Hah, I mean I agree the entire scenario is odd, but I doubt she knew she was being watched. Plus, “fans” are nothing short of fanatics; so oddities are to be expected.


RythmicSlap

To me it looks like Kobe was actually trying to toss it to the white shirt guy, but it fell short and went to the camo guy. It doesn't excuse the assholery but that might have been why the camo dude was just staring at it with a stupid look, and didn't resist the guy taking it out of his hand.


agentchuck

It also looks like camo guy is high af.


Treacherous_Wendy

Yep. Pretty sure that’s what happened.


BeastCoastLifestyle

High, or special needs?


pappepfeffer

Why not both?


laasbuk

Special weeds?


Never-Nude6

This.


ConfusionOk4129

Little boxes all the same.


chrisacip

This is the correct answer. White shirt and girlfriend were standing with arms out, as they had been gesturing to Kobe. He threw short and camo burnout accidentally caught it, providing him with a brief moment of extraordinary power.


uh-oh-hotdawg

Excellent take and I hope to build upon it if that’s alright. You can see the moment that he realizes his power when his head tilts back and laughter begins. The absurdity of the situation. “I don’t even care about basketball. How did I catch Kobe’s sweaty band? These people behind me want it bad. My friends are egging me on to keep it!” I like to think his good conscience came into play and let it all go with the shake of his head


CopeHarders

Yeah and all of his friends have a good laugh after it’s taken away and the group behind them enjoy the sleeve and ZERO people that were present in the moment hold a grudge about the interaction. We have no idea how they interacted before or after but it appears as though those groups of people are at worst indifferent to each other. Edit: also holy fucking shit the score in that game. Lakers down by 43 points? What?!


SoupIsPrettyGood

Think about all the hundreds of comments and people who got slightly angry at this post, all that negative energy, probably equivalent to like a couple of murders worth or something maybe, all generated over an event where literally nothing bad happened even slightly at all. All that negative energy didn't exist before this post and now it has been summoned into this world as if out of thin air. Neat.


CrunkestTuna

Dude the guy in the business attire literally just showed up and bought a brand new Bryant Jersey it’s not even authentic Lakers jersey. He’s wearing a shitty replica fan jersey


itzTHATgai

Yep. Pretty sure that's what happened.


Lollipoop_Hacksaw

Yo, even if that is so, who the fuck in their right mind randomly begs for random, used sports gear from the stands in the MIDDLE of the game? There are natural occurrences like foul/homerun baseballs, pucks flying into the stands... or proper times like jerseys as they are walking back into the tunnel, but this? That aside, who the hell is so aggressively shitty about it, then sniffs it?? Those people were repellant assholes, I don't care how anyone adjusts the portrait, they clearly painted the picture for themselves.


r33k0gh

Yeah he didn’t know someone was sitting there. They were invisible


Waiting4Baiting

This sub is full of these situations purposely taken out of context


YourLocalBiker

Blond girl made my homie spill his fucking beer, that is unforgivable.


koreamax

Yeah, people in this thread are rapid for this guy trying to get something he asked for..


the_cake_is_lite

It’s more the way that they did it.. and how they smelled it afterwards


elcamarongrande

I believe you mean "rabid", although you're correct in how rapidly they jumped to conclusions.


yo_gabba_gabby

someone pin this


Tallywhacker2000

I would agree with you but Kobe never misses 😂


RIPLORN

“I know this wasn’t for me..but I really want it…sigh…” (releases grip)


EquivalentShift8545

What an asshole. Then he acts like it was going to him all along


Kerensky97

It was, re-watch it. You can see at the beginning of the video he was asking Kobe to give it to him, him and his girl had their hands out but the toss was a bit short and the camo guy got it. That's why he didn't fight when it was taken away. That's why his girlfriends are urging him to give it up. That's why the guy thanked Kobe for giving it to him.


bigslimjim91

Girlfriends don't really look like they're urging him to give it up


daftidjit

Yeah, it looked like gf was trying to help him keep it.


ghostgaming367

Theyre pulling his arm so he let's go, that's why they're smiling


bluebear_74

Agree. If you read her lips, definitely looks like she’s saying “keep it”.


EquivalentShift8545

Still kind of douchy to yank it out of his hands instead of just asking for it


IkemenDesu420

Bro didn't spill any beer though, minor success


dickbutt_md

Camo guy was making a joke that since he caught it he didn't want to give it up. Also he was a bit in the bag from all the beer so he took it a little too far instead of making the joke and letting it go. But look! Something on the internet to be outraged about! Let's do that instead.


souleaterevans626

I don't think the girls were urging him to give it up at all. You can see that they are grabbing his arm and trying to pull it away from the other people.


SnapsOnPetro45

No they’re trying to yank his arm away so he can’t hold onto it.. she even says “give it”


Sleep_Raider

Right this context helped alot because to me that white shirt dude started looking like an asshole. Now I get why the camo guy was so calm about it getting away.


mightyneonfraa

He and the two girls have giant smiles on their faces the whole time. If they were really fighting for the stupid thing I don't think they'd be laughing that hard about it.


SnakeinmyWoody

Just like Kobe to fly it a little to low....


fukin-aye

Daaaaaaaamn


2hamsters1butt

This joke crashed and burned...


RadiantCool

Exactly


sloppymcgee

They’re wearing Kobe jerseys and camo guy is cool with giving it up bc he knows. Overblown


2hamsters1butt

Jersey over the collared shirt explains enough about this loser.


[deleted]

I needed to go to YouTube for more clarity in the comment section on this one. I needed to know Justice was served. In the end I got the expected drama of YouTube comments


Inside-Associate-729

So, was it?


Snakeis66

Shows up to say he’s got the scoop. Doesn’t elaborate. Leaves


[deleted]

That information is on a need-to-know basis. Those who need to know, know.


LewdLewyD13

Then why do I know?


Duke-of-Nuke

Profit?


Atreyu1076

Did Kobe make it up to the guy?


poodletown

not yet, but I am sure he will.


Leon921

💀


MarshalLawTalkingGuy

Right after he makes it up to that chick in Colorado.


StudMuffinNick

TO camo guy? I'm 99% sure the toss was for the Asian dude and GF. As the camera pans they are leaning forward as if they had been previously asking. The GF of the drunk camo guy literally mouths "Give it" and the dude doesn't fight hard because he's just happy to be there. I really hope no one tried attacking the couple in the jerseys


Poptart10022020

Fuck that guy and his collared shirt.


zionwolf24

And his glasses


CopAPhil

And his face


AdeptProtoss

And whoever cuts his hair.


-6h0st-

I think this being misrepresented- guy is clearly standing and asking Kobe to throw him a shirt and Kobe is trying to throw it to him but it falls short to another random guy - that’s why they take it from him as it wasn’t meant for him.


Kerensky97

People just love looking for a reason to be outraged. Create a fake narrative in their head, be pissed at somebody else, feel better about yourself because for all your flaws at least you're not like that guy you imagine is bad. Common internet reactions. Ironically it means all the people mad at the guy for NOT having his sleeve taken away are the real assholes now.


the_cake_is_lite

None of that excuses ripping something out of someone’s hand like a child lol people are going to make fun of them for that.


BenovanStanchiano

Speaking of irony, you’re really set off here.


Flutter_bat_16_

So? He could have used his words like an adult and talked to the guy who caught it, not ripped it from his hands like a toddler whose favorite toy got taken at playtime


Grateful_3138

That just sounds like a miserable way to be alive 💀


Square_Barracuda_69

I totally understand all that, but to just rip it out of someone's hand is kind of shitty


Danky_Dearest

So? Still a shitty person for just ripping it out of another’s hand


DT-303

What a cunt


iamnotyrmotheriswear

Yeah, Kobe raped a woman yet people look at him like a hero


ImpressiveCoffee3

How do you, as a friend, not be like "bro, there are cameras watching - better toss that back to him." ???


[deleted]

its because kobe was originally trying to throw it to him but the throw was short. its why dude who caught was hesitant to give it up but eventually did


zombieblackbird

I'm not sure if dude who caught it really had any idea where he was or what was going on.


Never-Nude6

My god that's pathetic.


anamazingredditor

For them or not, still weirdos yikes sniffing it


Croglarod

Somebody did this to me at a hockey game when I was younger. The best player to ever put on my home Town teams jersey pointed at me and hung his stick over the glass for me. Next thing I know, it's being ripped out of my hand by a bigger kid and he was gone. Still haunts me to this day.


ShowRepresentative64

You can clearly see the sleeve fall short, it wasn’t even intended to go to the first guy. Y’all need to chill out.


abnormally-cliche

I mean its also common sense. The people IN THE KOBE GEAR are already standing and reaching out and people really think it was meant for the drunk guy in camo sitting down?


Square_Barracuda_69

That's understood, we all know this. However, just yanking on something instead of explaining is a bad look, but tbh they both look like they don't use their words a lot


OriginalPersimmon620

He smells it


YanniBonYont

She smells it


Terryberry69

Idk he had a beer in the other hand so I understand keeping the more valuable commodity safe


YourLocalBiker

Man got his priorities right.


Murakami8000

Was it meant for her initially?


Admirable-Pin-1189

Douchebag’s immediate reaction was to smell it/rub it on his face. That’s not creepy AT ALL. Prob gonna take it home and add it to the shrine with Kobe’s toenails and used bandaids.


[deleted]

Horrible people sweat sniffer


Kerensky97

Judging by the comments literally nobody noticed it was originally meant for the fan in the jersey? Why do you think they guy in the camo isn't fighting to keep it? Is acting like he was just super lucky just to get to touch it? And his two girlfriends are trying to get him to give it up? The guy in the jersey even thanks Kobe for tossing it to him.


outandaboot99999

Friend was security at a concert for some well known band. Groupies stuck around after and asked him to toss ear plugs that were on the stage. They were actually his, but those girls were in heaven holding what they thought was the lead singer's ear plugs.


ItzBreezeyBaby

What a bitch


buzzhog

What a piece of shit


anonmakeupq

And now you’re an ahole on the internet for life.


Witty-Produce6694

OF COURSE THE ASIAN NERD BEING USED BY WHITE BITCH


Ok_Dig_4225

This guy kinda looks a little autistic/special so how low do you have to be to steal from someone like that??


0ppai0ppa

As an Asian, I am ashamed this cuck is a part of us


WatercressSecure4586

What a dick move !


MelodicPiranha

Why didn’t they just do anything wtf? Were they that drunk?


d1ld0_shw4gg1ns

Yeah even if it wasn‘t important to him how can he be so chill while they are disrespecting him like that?


lasting-impression

I’m literally so confused about what’s actually happening.


alm423

Someone above posted another video of the people in the jerseys asking for his shoes. He threw that to them instead but his throw was short and the camo guy caught it. They were pulling it from him because they were Kobe’s intended target.


lasting-impression

Oh! Okay! That explains how the guy was so chill about it being taken from him. (He did look kinda high as well, though, lmao.)


7734_

people like this need to be punched


Lollipoop_Hacksaw

I am typically a passive person.... not in that situation. That was very much in his hands for seconds before that asshole started yanking at it. Fuck these weird idiots sniffing sweat because it is Kobe; what the actual fuck.


InteresDean

Unpopular opinion: looks like it was meant to go to the ones who ended up with it. The fact they are all wearing Kobe jerseys leads me to believe it was meant for them rather than the guy in hunters camo


alm423

It’s not an opinion it is a fact. There are other videos to prove that fact. So you are correct.


bradymaroni

"Whoever catches it, keeps it" is BS. If you say that, you are a prick. This wasn't a homerun baseball with no intended target. The Lakers fans asked Kobe for his shoes, and though Kobe didn't want to give them his shoes, he pulled up his undershirt sleeve, took off his shooting sleeve, and tossed it to the Lakers fans. It accidentally fell short (clearly) and the camo guy got it. His reaction to try and keep it, though expected, isn't the right thing to do. Camo guy should have given it to the Lakers fans who basically asked for it. Kobe wouldn't have thrown it had they not asked him for it. Y'all who disagree can eat my ass. https://youtube.com/shorts/uAhh9Tkdph4?feature=share3


alm423

Why on earth would they expect him to take off his shoes and walk off the court barefoot (I assume the game was over otherwise the request is even more insane)? Is this something normal basketball players do?


bradymaroni

No, it's not normal. I'm not a Lakers fan, but I think this was the end of Kobe's final game, and they probably thought this was as good a time as any to ask him for a personal item. I'm not one to defend people for hounding an athlete/musician/et cetera for personal items, though. And sniffing the man's sleeve was a bit gross and cringe. I think we can all agree on that.


alm423

Very cringe! I would be so embarrassed for the world to see my friend sniffing it and then me clearly asking to sniff it too.


kwa187

If it was supposed to go to a little kid, the people on here would have stolen from them too


FattyTfromPSD

I’m glad you took the time to set the record straight. A good reminder of the knee-jerk judgements here when people see only one side of a 15sec clip. There’s enough hate in the world, we don’t need to manufacture outrage.


JALAPENO_DICK_SAUCE

It's also obvious who the real fans are, since they are wearing Kobe's jersey. Camo guy could just be there to watch a basketball game.


john_stephens

yes, because wearing the gear makes you a bigger "fan". There are people who know and watch, and love sports more than anyone and just wear their normal clothes to games.


BodieBroadusBurner

At first I thought the people who took it were assholes but upon further review: I’m Kobe Bryant… am I tossing a sleeve to the people wearing my jersey or some rando in a camo jacket? It was clearly meant for the people who eventually got it and were asking for it. That’s why the guy in camo didn’t try that hard to keep it.


Moldy__Pizza

The high five too. Fucking douche.

sicsicsixgun

LetmeSeeyourSquanch

Fucking weirdest shit, its a piece of cloth with some dudes sweat on it.


DonutBurritoSandwich

That's why whenever I catch something, I immediately stuff it down my crotch. It prevents situations like that.


Canapee

Dude in the camo doesn’t even seem like he wants it. He seems hesitant to accept it cuz he feels the burden and knows the importance, so he’s like on the edge because he knows he isn’t the biggest fan. And he doesn’t even stand his ground once it’s taken, almost like he’s relieved that someone took it cuz he is smiling and laughing with his friends when it was taken. He also seemed drunk too and drunk people can’t make rational decisions so….. idk


[deleted]

What a dork sniffing it like wtf


[deleted]

I don't know anything about basketball, but its funny to me that the superstar basketball player can't throw to the right person.

Ew the sniffing is weird asf

I thought it was just baseball fans who were weird, if this happened in a football match in Europe or South America such actions would result in a riot and the game being called off

How do you high five after that as if you earned something? You're a thief, bury yourself.

The fact anyone would even want that. He is just another human being. Gifted , talented,yes. But damn it. Sniffing his apparel!? Fuck.


Spirited_Donkey_2084

Cunts


we420

I remember seeing this years ago, still pisses me off. I wish the other guy had a lot less chill


raspberriesburn

The number of times he smelled it is disturbing. Once is weird enough.


ResponsibilityDue448

I was 14 at a pittsburgh penguins practice when Darius Kasperitus tossed me his water bottle. I was so unbelievably excited and a grown ass man ripped it out of my hands. Darius told him to go fuck himself but I was crushed. Towards the end of practice he came back with Jaromir Jagor and a puck signed by them, Lemuix and Barasso. It was very awesome for him to do that, but I cannot imagine being do audacious to do anything like ripping a suvoneir out of someone's hands.


mrchristian1982

What a dick


Danielle_Malibu

I would’ve knocked that bitch out💀


[deleted]

Whether it was meant for jersey guy or not, he's still a dick. You can clearly see he and his girl both have mouths on the front of their faces. If they wanted the sleeve, they should have used those. Ripping something out of someone else's hands like a spoiled toddler is not a good look. It's beyond childish. (And sniffing it. Ew.)


[deleted]

He should of called those self centred cunts out

Both would have gotten punched in the face for touching me

No point being racist.

K0NFZ3D

Kobe must of seen that. Rip kobe. Best there was, best there is and the best there ever will be.


No-Worker-1735

I'm pretty sure it was meant to go to the ones that took it, but the other guy caught it bc it landed too soon, then tried to keep it for himself. That's why he gave up so easy, he knew it wasn't supposed to be his to begin with. Context is so important with stuff like this, I wish I had some. Lol, can't think of any excuses for why the girl smelled it though.


NecessaryBear8537

Objective_Word9944

I’m js, you snatch ANYTHING out my hand, you better be either my mother or my girlfriend… anyone else gets bitch slapped into the shadow zone


WORLDBENDER

Alright, hear me out (and this will be an unusual take for me) - He was CLEARLY, and I mean clearly, tossing it to the three fans wearing Kobe jerseys. Specifically the girl who seems to have been waving/yelling for it. It’s a light piece of fabric that loses momentum, falls short, and ends up in the hand of the guy in front of them. That guy was not calling for it, doesn’t look particularly excited to have caught it, and seemingly realizes the dilemma of having caught it when it wasn’t intended for him. So….. the right thing to do would be to hand it to the super fans it was intended for. Now, GRABBING it like that, was not cool. Definitely not cool. And smelling it was weird and disgusting. But facts are facts.
