If you haven't seen Kobe Bryant's first lead role as an actor in a short film, here it is. The Black Mamba starring Kobe Bryant, Bruce Willis, Danny Trejo and Kanye West. This short film is clearly a commercial designed to sell Kobe, as well as Nike trainers. Since this is a Nike Basketball Production, there was an estimated budget of $3,050,000 spent on this film. Directed by Robert Rodriguez, it's clear to see he had no issue spending it hah.
