Apart from his outstanding basketball skills, Kobe Bryant has also excelled in other fields outside the court. What not a lot of people know about the Los Angeles Lakers legend is that he spoke different languages, including French, where he’s fluent enough to trash talk other players.

A video recently surfaced where Kobe Bryant revealed that he used to speak the language with his former teammate Ronny Turiaf during their time together with the  Lakers. He then shared that San Antoni Spurs guard Tony Parker was even surprised to hear him trash talk him in his native tongue.
