Filed under: Kobe Bryant, TMZ Sports
Hannukah came early for a bunch of Jews in Irvine, CA tonight -- when Kobe Bryant rolled up to the local Jewish Community Center and asked if he could borrow the basketball court for a hardcore private training session ... TMZ has learned.
Yentas at the JCC tell us ... the honchos at the center were more than happy to let Kobe use the facility -- and the Black Mamba couldn't have been nicer.
Kobe and a trainer proceeded to work on shooting drills and cardio training while a gang of the chosen people looked on in amazement.
We're told the training session went on for more than an hour -- and Kobe looked as sharp as ever.
Of course, the NBA lockout is just about over -- but players aren't expected to rejoin their teams for a few days ... so it seems Kobe is simply trying to get ahead of the game.
Kobe ain't the first NBA superstar to play with the 'Brews -- just last month LeBron James filled in a for a league team at a JCC in Ohio ... and DOMINATED.
