Kobe Bryant has passed over "Black Mamba" in favor of a new nickname, "Vino," the Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard declared on Twitter after last Thursday's game against the Timberwolves.
The unnamed friend gave Bryant the "vino" moniker because the 34-year-old basketball star, whose spectacular dunking has helped the struggling Lakers get back to a .500, apparently "gets better with age."Omg . My man just gave me a new nickname and I love it! Ha #vino
