The Lakers play for just a few hours every couple of days, so there’s only so much Twitter-coaching Kobe Bryant can do from the couch/hot tub/balcony overlooking Los Angeles. What will he do with the rest of his time? That’s where you come in, Twitter-verse. Got any suggestions for the Mamba?

Slowly but surely Kobe Bryant is succumbing to cabin fever and, according to this Instagram post, swamp ass. Mud butt. Stankonia. Watch the madness unfold in his live-tweeting of the Lakers Spurs game after the jump.

It was about time we heard something about Kobe Bryant’s achilles tendon. It had been, like, 8 hours! And this information is corroborated by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, the California super surgeon who believes Kobe can handle this. Put away your Grey’s Anatomy, real medical science ahead.

Up all night, presumably in a tremendous amount of pain/pain medication induced stupor, Kobe Bryant took to Twitter and Facebook to voice his frustration over thepotentially career ending achilles injury heard round the world. The emotional open letter after the jump.

Bad news, Kobe has ruptured his achilles tendon. What does that mean for the Lakers postseason hopes with 2 games left, or Kobe’s career, or all sorts of NBA benchmarks/records he was supposed to break? Our breakdown as well as video of Kobe breaking down after the jump.

Don’t act surprised, you guys.

Kobe already has 1,950 pts this season, meaning that if he were to continue on this pace next year, we’ll be talking about MJ moving out of the top 3, which would be huge for the sport. Were he to stick around 4 more years, at the plausible rate of 2,000 points per season, Kobe would be damn near dethroning another Laker legend at the #1 spot. Think thats a long time for him to stick around? We explain why it’s totally gonna happen after the jump.

Enough with the we’re sorry’s already.

You probably remember a few weeks ago when Mark Cuban said the Lakers should consider amnestying Kobe Bryant for the savings. Wonder why Cuban hasn’t really said anything since? Probably because the NBA gave him one million reasons not to.

Ever since Kobe Bryant severely sprained his ankle last night, he’s been on this weird, self-righteous crusade to smear Dahntay Jones’ name and everything about him. It’s like he totally forgot about what he did moments before.
