Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant's wife, Vanessa, does indeed shoot with him in the gym ... sometimes.

Kobe, ever the competitor, challenged her to make a backwards shot from the free-throw line. On her third try, Kobe claims this happened (note: NSFW at the 0:22 mark):

Kobe also posted a link to the shot on his Twitter, teeing it up with an apparent reference to Drake's classic line:
