We know him as the Black Mamba, but Kobe Bryant's former teammates have a few other surprise names for him. 

"Moist," "Sir Sweats A Lot," and "Nothing But Sweat" are just a few of the titles the retired basketball player has earned from his fellow Lakers. His sweating has become such big problem, he's sought out the help of a professional to put an end to the perspiration. 

Unbeknownst to the innocent aesthetician, the basketball champion teamed up with prankster Ellen DeGeneres to craft the most unforgettable doctor's visit. With the talk show host's audio in his ear, they concocted the whole situation and let the chips fall as they hilariously did.

"I sweat a lot. Too much," she told the lady after introducing himself several times. Next, it was time to break out a prop—a jar full of Kobe's "sweat."

"I am going to sell it on eBay," he told her seriously before explaining the intense way sweat drips down his body. The woman was clearly trying to fight making any shocked expressions. Little did she know, it was about to get more ridiculous. 

"I've tried to make Botox at home out of old cans of tomatoes. Didn't work," he told her. Then, he serenaded her with the "Sweaty Kobe Okie Dokie" song. "That's why I retired," Bryant claimed. 

After almost seven minutes of cringeworthy footage, Kobe finally broke the news to aesthetician—it was all a spoof. 

"There's a voice in my head that's talking to me," he revealed. "Her name is Ellen DeGeneres."
