Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant was active on Twitter tonight.
In response to LeBron James' epic Game 7 performance to lift the Cleveland Cavaliers to the NBA Finals over the Boston Celtics, Kobe sent out an initial tweet of congrats. Then he weighed in on the GOAT debate calling for appreciation of the accomplishments of LeBron, Michael Jordan and himself.
The last part rubbed some the wrong way and one Twitter user decided to call Kobe out. Amazingly, Kobe decided to respond.
Enjoy my 5 😂😂😂😂😂…. Kobe’s angry he’s trapped at the kiddy table at the base of Mt. Rushmore. Have some class: https://t.co/rUmpuoUevJ

#Annie #Oscar #Emmy safe to say I’m focused on another mountain but I’m guessing it’s hard to fathom athletes supporting other athletes to be great 🤷🏽♂️ #simpleminds https://t.co/OU1Z4z7jM4

Kobe was not having it tonight.
Kobe took this personal and that's just so Kobe. It is part of what made him great and drove him to all of what he accomplished in the NBA, and what's come beyond.
