A nickname used for retired NBA Los Angeles Lakers superstar
Kobe Bryant.
The "K" was replaced with "Fr" in
Kobe Bryant's nickname to reflect the years in which he had an
afro, or "'fro", and hence the nickname was born.
Person 1: Yo man, remember back when Frobe played?
Person 2: Frobe? Who's Frobe?
Person 1: Frobe, man. You
don't know Frobe? It's
Kobe Bryant.
Person 2: Ah, Frobe's
Kobe. Hah, is that the nickname he got when he had an afro?
Person 1: Yeah-yeah, there you go. Jesus, you had me worried for a minute.
