Legend Treads On

       Silicon Valley - Some say he is bringing the same obsessed work ethic to learning about tech start-ups that he did to training.  In August 2016 the Laker legend set his sights on Silicon Valley.  According, to billionaire investor Chris Sacca, he advised Kobe Bryant on how to get onto the high-technology court.  Chris Sacca told him to study up, read some articles, watch some TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design an invitation-only event) videos, and if he proved he was serious, he would talk to him about how to invest.  Sacca says, "For the next few months, my phone never stopped buzzing in the middle of the night.  It is Kobe, reading this article, checking out this tweet, following this guy, diving into this TED talk, diving into Y Combinator Demo Days,".  Y Combinator is a high-technology company founded in 2005.  See whole story, www.vanityfair.com.
