Only one member of the U.S. men’s basketball team doesn’t use Twitter or Instagram. Kobe Bryant doesn’t need Twitter or Instagram. He already has 13.6 million fans on Facebook, by far the most of any Olympian.
And he has spent his time in London sharing details of everyday life in the Olympic Village. Among his Facebook scoops: Kobe has eaten a bowl of strawberries and kiwis for a pre-game dessert, asked Australian swimmers to watch them train (and received “some Speedos” in return) and took in Michael Phelps’s last Olympic race with his kids. “It’s one thing to hear it from ‘Dad,’” he wrote, “but another to see others enjoy the success of hard work.” He has documented meetings with American swimmer Rebecca Soni, retired Ukrainian pole-vaulter Sergey Bubka (twice) andU.S. pole-vaulter Jenn Suhr, plus her husband. He also hung an American flagin his hotel room.
