Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers have created a new public service announcement video promoting diversity.
The video comes just one week after Bryant lashed out at a referee during a nationally televised game, calling him a “fucking faggot” after receiving a technical foul.
Bryant kicks of the video with, “There are all kinds of different people in the world. That’s what makes the world special.” Watch:
Bryant later issued an apology and was fined $100,000 by the National Basketball Association for the outburst.
