Koba and Brandy’s High School Prom Date
Kobe had asked Brandy to his Lower Merion Township high school prom date held at Bellevue Hotel in Philadelphia. They initially met at a Nike All-Star Basketball game months before the prom. At that time she said to the New York Daily News that,” He asked me to go to the prom with him and since he was a nice guy, I asked my mom and she said yes. Brandy’s mom later said to Philadelphia Daily News that,” I said I don’t know this guy. I had no idea who he was.
And then Brandy said, he is a basketball player. I liked that he had involved parents and he was doing academically well. He seemed to be a pretty good kid. He was levelheaded and grounded. And I said Ok.
Later on in an TMZ interview Brandy revealed that she still had the dress and the prom was a special night.
