Notre Dame star Arike Ogunbowale became an instant legend earlier this month when she hit back-to-back game-winning buzzer-beater shots.
After her first buzzer beater, Ogunbowale said that Kobe Bryant was her idol, and that she channeled her inner Mamba Mentality. Bryant wasted no time in giving her a shoutout and a follow on Twitter:
Now that Kobe follows me anytime I tweet or retweet something I think to myself, “I wonder if Kobe wants to see this on his timeline”.

All of this led to today…Ellen Degeneres surprised Ogunbowale by bringing Bryant out to meet her on the ‘Ellen’ show. Bryant ended up gifting Arike a signed jersey, plus another one for her dog, who also happens to be named Kobe.
Check out their interaction here:
On a side note, I find it hilarious that Ellen had no clue that Kobe never played college ball. At the 1:16 mark, Ellen asks Kobe straight up “did you really not play college basketball”? I love you Ellen, but are you kidding me? Those questions were simply unacceptable!
