You’ve mentioned making investments. Any of note you care to share? Roy Hibbert: I didn’t like bouncing around from team to team (late in my career), but playing with the Lakers I had a good rapport with Kobe (Bryant). His VC fund, I invested some money with him. He’s a killer on and off the court. I have some investments that I won’t get into right now, but they’re producing. I make my money work for me.

I know it’s only been about a month, but is life as a Laker a bit different? Tory Daniels: It’s way different. I’m friends with a guy who used to be on the Lakers’ coaching staff and he always told me that being part of the Lake Show is very different and that there a lot of perks and things that come with it. He just told me to take advantage of everything I can. That’s what I’m going to do. I call them “America’s Team” because everyone knows about the Los Angeles Lakers and everyone knows about Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’Neal and LeBron James. When you come play for this organization, you got to come correct. That’s what I’m going to do.
Of his time working with Bryant on Kobe’s “Muse,” Chopra describes an intense working relationship during the guard’s recovery from a torn Achilles. “He would send these texts messages at three in the morning and be like, ‘Hey, dude you got to come down. I have something to say,’ and he would stay up all night,” Chopra said.
Bryant had production go from Los Angeles to Newport Beach, even offering to move Chopra there to keep a closer eye on the project. “We built, essentially, a studio in his office in Newport,” Chopra added. “As we got into post-production, Kobe was like, ‘Hey, so I want to like have the post process done in Newport.’ And he was like, ‘We can get you a house in Newport, and I was like, you can get me a house, but you can’t get me a family.’ “
