Arike Ogunbowale has officially solidified her name as a household one… or at least as much Ogunbowale can be. It’s not exactly the simplest name.
She did so by showcasing the ice in her veins with not one, but two clutch game-winning shots in the Final Four. Winning two games in such a high-stakes situation is an incredible feat, and it got the attention of one of the best players to ever lace ‘em up. The Black Mamba himself, Kobe Bryant.
This was after the first game, that sent Notre Dame to the National Championship over powerhouse UConn:
Following the praise, Ogunbowale tweeted out explaining that her life was complete. Kobe responded by challenging her.
Next thing you know…
Everyone now agrees that Ogunbowale’s life is now complete, but that doesn’t mean it can’t get just a little bit better. On Friday, The Ellen DeGeneres show posted a clip from the show where Kobe came out for an awesome surprise visit to his huge fan Ogunbowale.
Just amazing. In case you missed the shot heard around the world, here it is.
