Chiefs Heiress Gracie Hunt Wears A Kobe Bryant Jersey And Nothing Else To Celebrate NBA's Return

Kansas City Chiefs Heiress Gracie Hunt -- who, frankly, has probably become the most likeable woman in Kansas City -- celebrated the return of the NBA this week by honoring the late Kobe Bryant.

I don't even like the NBA -- not since the Allen Iverson days -- but even I respect the hell out of Kobe Bryant. His generation was PEAK NBA. Kobe, AI (the basketball player, not the robot), Vince, LA Shaq -- the best.

I used to own a Kobe Bryant No. 8 jersey when I was kid. True story. Now, did I look like this below picture of Gracie Hunt when I donned it? Not quite.

More than one way to skin a cat, you know:

Mamba Mentality, baby! Welcome back, NBA. And welcome back, Chiefs Heiress Gracie Hunt!

It's been a weirdly quiet start to the year for Gracie, too. Feel like she's toned it down a tad on Instagram for whatever reason, especially with her Red Fridays. Those used to be reservation TV and now they're just ... eh.

Plus, she's not the only cat in town anymore. In case you haven't heard, some singer is constantly in a box with Patrick Mahomes' wife now and it's all anyone can talk about. Miserable. Just the worst.

Worst of all, all the nonsense has overshadowed Gracie Hunt -- an OutKick OG who once yelled at me for calling her out for an absurd marathon take. I still stand by it, too. That's for another day, though.

This is about Gracie Hunt, Kobe Bryant, Mamba Mentality and the return of the NBA. I love three of those things. I can certainly do without the latter, but if it means we get Gracie Hunt back on her game on Instagram I guess I'll take it.

Go Chiefs.
