Philadelphia native and Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant showed his support for his favourite football club ahead of their big tilt on Sunday.

Bryant wasn’t going to let all those years of living in L.A. infiltrate his mind and make him a Rams fan, and delivered a special message for Eagles fans over their Twitter account.

 So sincere.

Technically, the “Fly, Eagles, Fly is a fight song, and the way Kobe says it makes it sound like it’s more of an order to the Eagles that they should fly, instead of the standard celebration.

That sounds just like Kobe Bryant.

The five-time NBA champion had been kicking it with the Eagles the whole week leading up to their NFC showdown.

Heading into the game, the Rams and Eagles have both scored 361 points on the season, just nine points behind the league leading New Orleans Saints, who played on Thursday Night Football.
