Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant enjoys randomly calling and messaging other famous people, including Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
In an interview with USA Today, Bryant revealed that he recently contacted Wintour through email about her thoughts on leadership. Bryant explained that he was curious about how Wintour has been able to create and sustain success within her company over the course of many years.
Wintour isn't the first to receive a message out of nowhere as Bryant has cold-called legendary coach Tex Winter to go over the specifics of the triangle offense. According to Complex, Bryant added that enjoys cold-calling people because it gives him an opportunity to learn from the source about things he's curious about. .
"It's funny because the reaction is always the same," he said, "where everybody is a little taken aback because nobody has really had a chance to think about their own process and how they do things. It winds up being a therapeutic experience."
Bryant will have plenty of time to pick the minds of others as he recovers from a torn rotator cuff suffered earlier in the season.
