For his seventh summer in a row, Nike hosted five time world champion Kobe Bryant on a tour in China. Visiting  Jinan, Wuhan and Guangzhou, China, Kobe held clinics, greeted fans, played a little ball, and charged them to all find their greatness. “Greatness is about working hard,” said Kobe Bryant, “Greatness is not only shown on the gold medal stand, greatness is also accomplished when you work hard everyday.” Check the video below for a quick recap of Kobe in China.
