Kobe Bryant‘s long-awaited ESPN/ABC debut drew plenty of mixed reviews after appearing with a snake-like sock puppet (which was meant to be known as “Little Mamba” according to Bryant) during a double block segment that aired separated by a commercial.

The internet was as ruthless as usual after seeing the Black Mamba wear a different outfit for the first time in 20 years.

Twitter didn't forget the 81-point onslaught Bryant put on Morris Peterson and current ESPN analyst Jalen Rose, leading to a rather awkward interaction.
Jalen is self-aware, he knew what a Kobe appearance would mean to the internet.
