It is shown, as Rodriguez describes it, with Bryant squaring off against a monster-fied Danny Trejo, before meeting Bruce Willis.

[1] By 2011, Kobe Bryant, Bruce Willis, Danny Trejo, and Kanye West signed on to star in a 6-minute short film under the title The Black Mamba.

[7] Kevin Jagernauth, of IndieWire, said the short film was "OK", elaborating "it fits very comfortably into the grindhouse wheelhouse for Rodriguez, so if you've worn out your Machete DVD this is probably worth a quick spin".

[1] Chris Yuscavage, of Vibe, gave a mixed review, praising Rodriguez's metahumor, but criticizing Bruce Willis' minor role and Bryant's "manufactured" stage name of "The Black Mamba".

The cameo appearances are funny and the idea of a super-villain collecting shoes is kind of interesting, but overall the action was stale and the basketball itself was boring.
