Not Even A Picture With Kobe Bryant Could Get Kanye West To Smile

Kanye West was with Kobe Bryant shooting in the gym this week. He may not have had much fun, though.

The two hit a court in Orange County for a workout, and the moment was captured in an Instagram photo by Open Gym Premier, a company out of OC that runs a hoops facility.

But here's the thing: 'Ye isn't smiling.

Now, maybe he just got worked by Kobe. The Laker legend is of course, one of the greatest to ever pick up a basketball. And he's notorious for his uber-competitive spirit. But that seems unlikely.

Things weren't always this way. Back at the American Music Awards in 2004, Yeezy and Kobe had a jovial embrace.

Ahh, the good old days.

Hopefully, Kobe doesn't take this personally, though.

The blank stare seems to be Kanye's photographic disposition of choice more often than not - even when he's with wife Kim.
