Kobe Bryant Sponsors Turkish Airlines...Because Mehmet Okur would have made TOO much sense

A fitting commercial to air the day after Kobe and Co. let a 16 point second half lead slip through their grasp, handing the Mavericks an early 1-0 series lead. That shrimp salad sure would taste a lot better if you scored that last shot wouldn't it, Kobe?

You just have to wonder why the Turkish airline chef would go out of his way to make such a below the belt comment. Really going above and beyond the call of serving unrealistically delicious food, showing the kind suspect of customer service and hospitality that doesn't really scream postive brand recognition. What you REALLY have to wonder is why Kobe Bryant would possibly be going to Istanbul in the middle of basketball season.

Either way, hell of a kitchen facility on that airplane! Kobe will never have to worry about hunger when he was flying back and forth to Turkey during the NBA Playoffs. Just an airball of a commercial from beginning to end, from Kobe's complete loss of motor skills in the kitchen
