Background: This was another one of Kobe Bryant's rookie Summer Pro League Games. Unlike the SPL game against China, this game was played in an NBA-like 48 minute game split into 4 quarters. Once again, most of these games were never broadcasted by the NBA but were filmed by scouts and teams for player evaluating purposes. The game is filmed from a fan's viewpoint, no scoreboards, watermarks, replays, or play by play announcers.

Note: Kobe Bryant, who was not even a legal adult at the time, is wearing number 32 in this video

Note 2: Derek Fisher is also in this video as number 9
