Nice Guy
for Kobe Bryant's pitch to ESPN

Trey Wingo is sitting in the lounge, reading a copy of ESPN the Magazine. Kobe and Andrea Bargnani sit across from him, speaking in Italian. Trey feels self-conscious and tries to ignore them, but is clearly distracted. 

[Subtitled in English] 

KB: I like this Wingo guy. 

AB: Yeah, pretty good guy, that Wingo. Seems to be the same on the air as off it. 

KB: What kind of name is Wingo? Is that Italian? 

AB: Wingo? I don’t know. 

KB: I actually knew another Wingo. He was pretty nice too. 

AB: No, you’re thinking of Dingo. 

Finally, Wingo has had enough and pops out of his chair. 

TW: That’s just rude, guys. It’s just rude. 

Trey storms out.
