Kobe Bryant and Arianna Huffington, co-founder and editor in chief of the Huffington Post Media Group, have an unlikely friendship.
According to the New York Times , the two have developed “a familiarity of old pals.” The two even met up at a restaurant in Santa Ana where they spoke to each other in fluent Italian.
The two are such good friends that ESPN’s Arash Markazi tweeted that Arianna said she got her tickets to the Lakers-Knicks game from Kobe and that they had become friends after Kobe emailed her one day.
