Is Kobe Bryant going to be sponsoring the iWatch?

NBA superstar and LA Laker shooting guard Kobe Bryant recently paid a visit to Apple’s Cupertino headquarters to meet with Jony Ive’s team, though the purpose of the meeting is unclear. One anonymous tipster managed to snap a photo of the all-star player, which includes a geotag matching it to Apple’s campus according to 9to5Mac. Bryant’s watch is also clearly visible in the blurry photo. If Apple and Kobe are planning on teaming up in the future it seems pretty likely it will have something to do with the company’s upcoming push into fitness. 

It is always fun when we get celebrity Apple tips, but those usually revolve around Samsung endorsers using an iPhone. Today we received something a little more interesting. An Apple tipster sent in an image of Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Kobe Bryant with his wife Vanessa today on Apple’s Infinite Loop campus in Cupertino, California. The pair met with Jony Ive’s team according to the tipster and the scuttlebutt is that the meeting centered around upcoming products. Apple’s campus is clearly recognizable in the background of the photo and the couple can be seen waiting for food. We can’t verify the topic of conversation with Ive but the picture is embedded with a geotag that confirms the photo was taken with an iPhone on Apple’s campus.
