Kobe photobombs Messi in new ad

Kobe Bryant's return to the basketball court is coming very quickly. It will not happen this Friday as was initially reported, but Bryant is practcing with the Lakers and getting closer and closer to a return.

Bryant's photobombing skills are not nearly as good as Chris Bosh's skills. But the ever-escalating selfie battle between the world's two most famous and well-known athletes in the world is sure to boost Turkish Airlines profile worldwide (if not in the U.S.).
