#MambaDay: A Hatin’ Azz Twitter User Bids Kobe Bryant A Petty Farewell
A Gallery Of Kobe Bryant’s Worst Professional And Personal Failures
Ladies and gentlemen, the moment that haters all across the world have been looking forward to. Kobe Bryant’s very last NBA game. “The Black Mamba” will hang up his uber expensive Nike’s for good after tonight’s game at the Staples Center against the Utah Jazz.
For 20 years now we’ve watched Kobe throughout all his professional (and personal) ups and downs.
While many will be shedding tears tonight, some folks are more than happy to send Kobe off with a boot in his purple and gold azz.
Since a lot of people have been calling me a "Kobe hater", I'm going to make a thread with some of my favorite Mamba Moments
