NBA legend Kobe Bryant will step off the sidelines as a soccer fan this season, making his first foray into professional soccer in America. He’s helping tout a new partnership between MLS and BodyArmor — a sports drink company Bryant has invested in since 2014, acquiring a 10% stake that is now valued at $200 million. A long-time fan of the game, Bryant first started tracking the league when David Beckham joined the Galaxy in 2007.
