How can you not love things like this? Yesterday, the United States men's basketball team served up to the country of Tunisia and their basketball team, by the score of 110-63. The U.S. didn't manage to cover the 50+ point spread that was reportedly at stake, but that wasn't one of the only talking points that followed the game's final buzzer. As it turned out, Mohamed Hadidane of Tunisia would not leave without getting an autograph from the one and only Kobe Bryant. Here is your videotape:

And here it is in GIF form, thanks to the guys at SBNation:

You can only hope that Mohamed keeps the shoe in a safe place. You also have to love the fact that Bryant seemed to take solace in the fact that an opposing player was asking for his autograph, and that no ill will was shared between the two. Things like this, in my opinion, are fantastic and the fact that Mohamed looked like a Lakers fan who was seeing stars is remarkable.
