While Duncan is losing money hand over foot..Kobe Bryant is leading a consortium as part of the Commish....Outstanding Kobe!!!!!! Outstanding

Dr Pepper just bought a big stake in a Gatorade rival drink called BodyArmor that's backed by basketball star Kobe Bryant.

Kobe Bryant sits on the board of directors and owns more than 10% of the company.

Dr Pepper Snapple Group said it paid $20 million for an 11.7% stake in BA Sports Nutrition, the maker of BodyArmor.

Gatorade had a 77% share of the $6.81 billion sports drink market last year, while Powerade had a 20% share, according to data from Euromonitor International cited by the Wall Street Journal.
BodyArmor's sales were $30 million last year and revenue has increased 180% through the first nine months of this year.

Body Armor launched in 2011 and generated $10 million in revenue over the past 12 months. Sales more than doubled each of the past two years. Each of the six flavors contain coconut water, two and a half times the electrolytes of traditional sports drinks and are low in sodium.

I'm not a fan of Kobe's drink, but coconut water is great for hydration.

Exactly! Duncan got rid of his gold digging and can now enjoy life. While nessa cracks the whip on Kobe for more money. Nessa won't give up the puss till Kobe buys her another 4 million dollar ring. All white girls out there are put at risk by nessa's greed especially if they reside in Colorado. Nessa's pimp hand is made of cold hard steel. Poor Kobe can't get away from the . No prenup.

yep not sure why he is laughing a lot of health enthusiasts are proponents of it (coco water) ... never tried Kobe's myself. But whenever i visit Belize or Hawaii I drink it it tastes good and replaces a lot of what you sweat out ... but i think it's high in sodium or something not great for you IIRC ...

Sodium is needed for active lifestyle, salt pills were a thing when I played football. Plays a role in keeping hydrated.

Kobe's water is a little bland, the purple one is okay. Coconut water just doesn't seem to taste good with a lot of standard drink flavors.

that's exactly why, coco water is the most overrated nutrient i've heard of in the last 5 years. I absolutely hate it and would punch in the face anyone saying it's going to help their diet. I could ramble about it for hours tbh always being around vegans and vegetarians, but the funny part is that the guy that i hate the most in the world invests in the thing i respectfully consider a massive load of crap. I really consider it as one of the things bound to lose a lot of its value, like ipads and other stuff that has no real value (that is, value-cost)

I hate Dwight Howard and Kevin McHale ... as players ... but person you hate most in the world?! seems pretty silly to invest that much hate in a NBA player when there are dictators who have committed genocide, child molesters etc. I guess you were being dramatic but taken at face value seems a bit misguided ...
