Kobe Bryant has worn some, um, interesting outfits in his day.
But even by the Black Mamba's lofty standards, what he wore to the Los Angeles Lakers' contest against the Knicks on Christmas Day was bold.
Bryant showed up donning sunglasses, a turtle neck and a fur-collared coat.
When he got to the locker room, Bryant described the fur-collared look as his "Frank Lucas."
For those who aren't familiar, Lucas was a Harlem crime boss and heroin dealer in the 1960s and 1970s.
He was portrayed by Denzel Washington in the movie American Gangster. Lucas was known for his swanky fur coats.
Bryant didn't let his teammates' disapproval of his fashion choice get to his head. He scored 34 points and grabbed five rebounds in the Lakers' victory.
But clearly they were shocked by his look:
Kobe comes into the locker room wearing a fur collared jacket. "It's my Frank Lucas." Jordan Hill picks it up: "Good lawdddd"

Under the fur-collared jacket for Kobe? A turtle neck. Jamison could only look him up and down and shake his head
