Kobe Bryant sits in on class at BC, students totally freak

Lakers megastar Kobe Bryant, who has always been well-received in Boston (joking), flew into Boston a bit early to sit in on some business classes at Boston College last night. The Lakers will play the Celtics in Boston tonight, but Bryant, who is currently out with a fractured knee, is still traveling with the team. So the future Hall of Fame guard, who entered the NBA straight out of high school, figured he would soak in the fruits of the greatest college city in the world.

Learn. Learn. Learn. thank you #BC #internationalmarketing Education never stops.

Clearly, students of The Heights were more than excited to see the 15-time all-star, even if he is historically a Celtics-killer. Here’s what a few of the star-struck pupils had to say over Twitter:
