Kobe Bryant scored 33,643 points in his NBA career. However, Kobe Bryant was never known to be much of a passer. That just makes the assist that he gave to a few Indianapolis students all that greater.
Ben Davis High School student William Pate tweeted Kobe and told him that if the 18 time NBA All-Star gave him a retweet, the students would be excused from their final exam. The tweet had a picture of Pate and his teacher attached.
Pate’s work was not in vain as Kobe Bryant re-tweeted and responded “Hope you have an A in this class”.
According to Pate the final was a US Government exam.
