Kobe Hisses Like A Snake On The Court

LeBatard: Can you give me a time that you were on the court, on a professional basketball court, and you looked to your right or your left and said, "I can't believe I'm up here with this guy?"

Crawford: I did it with two people. I did with Vince Carter my rookie year. I couldn't believe I was playing him, I was checking him. And then Kobe, of course. When I first played with Kobe, I was hearing — like, they call him "The Black Mamba" — and then he was doing, like, the little snake sounds when he wanted the ball. (laughs) It was crazy. It was crazy. It was crazy. So, them two moments.

LeBatard: Wait a minute — what was this sound? He was calling for the ball by making a snake sound?

Crawford: Yeah, it's like, tssss, tssss. It's like, "Fish, Fish, Fisher — tsssss, tssss." He'd do that. (laughs) And it's like, they call him, they say — like, everybody tells you he's gonna do it before you play him. Like, "Wait 'till you hear him do this." And then he do it, and it's like, "What?" Like he's really a mamba.

He does that "WOOO" **** so much. It's fine, but then when I'm playing ball I'll hear random fools doing the same. It's like yeah man, I know you're there. Chill.

It would be dishonest an immoral to use a name like Black Mamba if you didn't make snake sounds on the court. Come on!

people that watch laker games on the regular find this as no surprise. You can hear him doing it often. Its not like the sound is uncommon.

Its not really a hiss. I don't know how to describe it but he always used to do it when one of our bigs would get the rebound and he was calling for the ball or running up the court.

I think more people would know what the sound was if it wasn't described as a hiss.

I've heard him do it but I never thought of it as a snake-like hiss. If he's doing that because of the Mamba thing then that's pretty lame, but I doubt that's why he does it.

Kobe hisses and he sometimes speaks in Spanish to Pau on the court.
It's like their secret code unless their playing against Calderon or Rubio lol

When Sasha Vujacic and Radmonvic was on the team Kobe used to speak Italian to them.
Sash and Vlad weren't Italian but they were fluent as well.

He's been doing it for years, before the "Black Mamba" era.
