Never heard of that one, either.

Unrelated: Black Mamba is kinda weak, IMO. First of all, I didn't even know what a mamba was. Second, Uma Thurman is also the Black Mamba. Third, it's racist (but not as racist as "Yellow Mamba").

I don't really think it is racist. I was just joking. I do think it's lame that Kobe gave himself the name because it already belonged to a boxer. If you're gonna give yourself a nickname, at least be original.
