…. that she never flirted with soon-to-be-divorced NBA star Kobe Bryant, and not only that, she’s not his type.

The rumors kicked into high gear when the NY Daily News published this story today.

Kobe Bryant’s impending divorce may come as good news to Sanaa Lathan. A source who attended Jay-Z and Kanye West ’s Watch the Throne concert at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Tuesday tells us that the luscious-lipped “Love & Basketball” actress was flirting seductively with the Lakers guard during the show.

“She touched his face, and she was shaking her a– in front of him to the music,” says the insider.

Bryant’s spokesman, Michael Sitrick, says Bryant and Lathan were “both at the concert,” but he adds: “There was no flirting. There’s nothing there.”

Over the years the 40-year-old actress has been linked with numerous single (and married) men and women in Hollywood. She is quickly earning a reputation as the neighborhood bicycle.
