Kobe on twitter is glorious (in both an amazing and horrible way).
Kobe: I played T-Mac. I cooked him. Roasted him. Wasn’t even close. Ask him, he’ll tell you. When I was about 20, we were in Germany doing some promotional stuff for that other sneaker company and we played basketball everyday. We were in the gym all the time. We played three games of one-on-one to 11. I won all three games. One game I won 11-2. After the third game he said he had back spasms and couldn’t play anymore.
ESPN: His back bothered him for most of his career.Kobe: Well, now you know.

Kobe couldn’t get his own kin on the #KobeSystem? And what’s up with the shorts-over-sweats look, Mamba?

Kobe Bryant eats Mike Brown’s soul with his eyes.
It’s no secret that the Lakers are struggling and Mike Brown’s seat has been red hot since before he even started the job so I’m sure Kobe’s death-stare isn’t helping wipe any sweat off Mike Brown’s brow.
Just going to leave this here.
Dwight played his first (preseason) game in a Lakers uniform. This is just a reminder of the impetus for what transpired in Los Angeles this summer.
Now is the appropriate time to shiver and hug yourself while rocking silently in anticipation of tomorrow’s melancholy.
Will “Kobe to Dwight for the dunk” actually become a thing?
How many games into the season will Lakers fans, of the non-Kobe-fan-boy variety, start complaining that “Kobe doesn’t pass the ball to Howard enough”?

Many people give Kobe a pass for being abusive towards his teammates during those years, both on the court and in the media. I get why. His best years were wasted. But was it really a situation he couldn’t control?
After all, LeBron took Cleveland to the NBA Finals in 2007 by passing to Larry Hughes and Drew Gooden…
Kobe’s approached helps highlight just how bad his teammates were. Don’t let them touch the ball until you need them to bail you out, putting already incapable players in nearly impossible scoring positions.
LeBron took the different and instead of shutting off his teammates, he shared with them not just when it was convenient for him but when it was best for his teammates. And that approach got his team into the Finals.
It’s easy to give Kobe a pass for those years, especially when he tried his best to make his own teammates look terrible.
“This is my team.”
-Kobe Bryant
