Back in May, the Los Angeles Lakers' shooting guard was photographed during a visit at Apple's Headquarters in Cupertino, California. Back then, it was rumored that he may be working with Apple for the upcoming iTime Smartwatch. 
 
Yesterday, Bryant talked about his day spent in Cupertino in broad terms, in an interview with Bloomberg. The NBA star explained how he wanted to talk to Jony Ive about the way he is doing his job and he explained how he organizes his games. 
 
As expected, the athlete did not discuss the iTime wearable in his interview. Kobe Bryant admitted Jony Ive wanted to know all about how he prepares and builds his game. "My response was - much like he builds products. You think sequentially. You look at the end result which you want to create and there's so many other little things that go into this massive entity, the device. It's no different than building my basketball game. You start with what you want to game to be. What would make your game most unstoppable, what part to deal with and now you work backwards from there," Bryant said.
 
Apple did not announce a wristwatch device. However, they do have multiple patents filed with the US Patent and Trademark office that detail such a device. It remains to be seen if the iWatch or iTime will be released sometimes this fall.
