DJ为科比在刚果建篮球场
， 描述： Where Lakers Happens!
DJ母本加：我一直都提到，当我们谈论迈克尔乔丹的时候，我们总是会当他是独一无二。但是如今人们得意识到，受到崇拜的不应只有乔丹，科比也应当受到同样的对待。我告诉他：“我将会送给你有生以来最好的礼物，我正在刚果修建一个以你名字命名的篮球场。刚果人民热爱着你。你帮助我得到一枚总冠军戒指，我必须报答你。我将送给你一个命名为科比的篮球场，那是其他任何人无法得到的礼物，甚至飞人乔丹也从没有过这种荣誉。”我告诉科比，“你将会为那里的人们带来希望。刚果的小孩子现在干的是偷窃，杀人，贩毒的事情，相反,我要改变他们，我要他们在‘科比大球场’打篮球”。球场将会建在首都金沙萨，他们将会在数周内开始动工。在我的基金会调剂下一切都准备就绪。
科比：那让我感觉非常伟大。他告诉我会给我一个惊喜，我们常聊到的话题就是有朝一日去访问刚果，去跟那里的孩子聊聊。DJ和我的关系真的很好，而这礼物真是无比的荣耀，我想都想不到的惊喜。DJ为他的故乡已经做出了相当多的贡献，但这是不为外界所知的事情，他热心为家乡的贡献并不是为了引起注意，而是发自内心主动去做的。我绝对需要去刚果走一趟了。
Kobe Speaks of DJ’s Special Gift
I always say, when we talk about Michael Jordan we always set him apart. But people gotta realize now, it’s not just Michael Jordan. It’s Kobe too. I told him, “I’m going to
give you the best gift you’ve ever had … I’m building a basketball court in Congo with your name on it. People they love you there. You helped me to get a ring, I’m going to
give you something back. I’m going to give you a basketball court with your name – that’s something nobody else can have. Even Michael Jordan never had that. I told him,
“You’re going to give people hope. There are kids that are stealing, killing, (doing drugs) … instead I want them to play basketball at the Kobe … Bryant … Court.” It’s
going to be in Kinshasa*. They are going to start working on it in a couple of weeks. Everything’s already been set up through my foundation.
After L.A. defeated Golden State on Monday night, we had a chance to ask Kobe about the honor:
It makes me feel great. He told me he was going to have a surprise for me, and something he and I talk about often is visiting Congo and speaking to some of the kids. DJ and I
have a really close relationship. This is a tremendous honor, something that I didn’t expect. (DJ does) a ton for (the people) over there. It’s something that people don’t
hear about, but he doesn’t do it for the attention, he does it because it’s something that’s close to his heart. I absolutely have to (go visit).
