Erasing the line between man-to-man defense and movies, Kobe Bryant is pitching the all-female “Ghostbusters” movie with a TV commercial in which he’s Mamba the ghost killer.
“This won’t be Bryant’s first IMDb credit. His rookie year, he made an appearance on the ’90s sitcom ‘Moesha,’ playing opposite his famous prom date, Brandy Norwood. His next cameo came almost 20 years later, in the 2015 comedy ‘Daddy’s Home.'”

Is it bad that the Kobe Bryant Ghostbusters commercial looks better than the actual Ghostbusters movie? #NBAFinals

That Kobe ad is the first I’ve heard of about a new Ghostbusters. I presume there are men in it?

Didn’t even dawn on me that Kobe was really retired until I seen him in that Ghostbusters commercial.
