Kobe Bryant and Stephanie Rice!? Obviously. Kobe attended the Olympic sprint cycling final yesterday to watch Anna Meares win gold with a photo finish. Kobe sat between Australian swimmers Stephanie Rice and Bronte Barratt and everyone is getting excited because Rice is so scandalous and Kobe is Kobe.

Kobe and Rice met at the 2008 Olympics where Rice was reportedly hooking up with Michael Phelps. Since then, she’s been in the news for, among other things, posting a picture of herself in a bikini on Twitter. Meanwhile, Kobe is going through a divorce, but his wife and kids were in London for the Olympics. So are Kobe and Steph Rice more than just good mates, or is this all just Australian for “stupid rumors?” We may never know!
