I guess Kobe Bryant has become a little bored this offseason – or finally took a step outside of the gym – because the Los Angeles Lakers great is on the warpath yet again.
Every so often Bryant pops up on social media, drops a few words of wisdom and then departs for another couple of weeks.
Today was the day the Lakers icon decided to surface as he not only took a shot at ESPN who questioned his soccer fandom, but also fans who think he’s a selfish basketball player.
A bit of a ball hog, the Black Mamba was asked about his desire to keep the rock in his hand which allowed him to give this rather epic response:

I’m not sure I’ve ever really thought of Kobe Bryant as a selfish basketball player. Yes, he likes to take an absurd amount of shots and yes, he does get frustrated with his teammates. But he’s been more than happy to pass too – assuming he has teammates that can make a shot. Yeah, we’re looking at you, Nick Young. That wasn’t the only beef Kobe Bryant settled on the day either as he finished by going in at ESPN who might have suggested the basketball star was a bit of a bandwagon soccer fan.
I think @espn are barely becoming fans I’ve been a fan since Paulo Maldini @acmilan #milanista https://t.co/nk8n906VZj
