live at the wells fargo center, doug shimell, nbc 10 news. >> got to be loving that, doug. here's a quick look at kobe bryant's career and connection to philly. he was born in philadelphia august 23rd, 1978. in 1996 bryant led lower merion high school to the pennsylvania state championships, and that same year he was drafted by the charlotte hornets, but he was later traded to the l.a. lakers and in 2001 bryant won the nba championship in philadelphia. that was the second of his five championships. and in 2010 lower merion high school named its gymnasium after bryant. a lot of memories for him right here, john clark? >> reporter: yeah, hey, i'm on the floor inside the wells fargo center and there are a lot more fans with laker jerseys and kobe bryant jerseys than sixer fans. coming up in sports we'll hear from kobe and he'll talk about the thing he learned playing on philly's playground here that led him to being one of the greatest basketball players ever. we'll see you then. >> see you in a bit, john. >>> to our weather now, and not the kind of day you want to spend outsi

>> wells fargo is in the wrong. it's the usbank stadium not the wells fargo stadium.it's a little out of control. i don't understand why they'd be doing this other than to get the free publicity out of it. if they entered an agreement and are in breach of this agreement, it's a simple law. it hurts the vikings image. they have an agreement with usbank who sponsored the stadium. wells fargo can't come in and usurp all the attention and expect it not to be an issue. >> here's the vikings complaint. wells fargo started installing mounted and illuminated roof top signs that do not conform to the parties agreement in an effort to permanently photo bomb the iconic stadium. do the vikings singlehandedly win this? >> i agree. i think they do because it seems like there was an agreement. there was a contract between wells fargo and the vikings whereby wells fargo couldn't put illuminated signs on their buildings in order to get the zoning from the city to be near the stadium. they started to build that. it seems like a straightforward lawsuit where the vikings win. my question

"this young man is doing a really nice job. he's probably a better runner than carson was, but they're definitely rushing the football very well."
