PHOTO: Kobe orders latte, barista delivers under pressure

Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant is in China for his annual Nike promotional tour.

While in Shanghai, the five-time NBA champ stopped for a cup of coffee. A crafty barista then skillfully produced an impressive homage to Bryant's brand.

As seen in his Instagram photo, Kobe's "Sheath" or "Shozoku" logo was stenciled carefully on top of the player's latte.

Ever the perfectionist, Bryant seemed satisfied with the culinary creativity.

One big sigh of relief from the employee working the coffee shop's counter, no doubt, since one does not wish to disappoint the Black Mamba.
