Kobe Bryant has been playing with the Lake-show for the last 17 years. Unfortunately for us, while we’ve been able to enjoy Bryant’s jumpers and jams for more than a decade, the legend and future Hall of Famer only started tweeting recently.

Just like his basketball play, Bryant has taken naturally to one of the most legit ways to use the social media site: Raggin’ on haters (as a total side note, here are our three favorite ways to use Twitter: Follow Adam Schefter during NFL free agency, live vicariously through Johnny Football’s raging, and giggle at all the reactions to crazy dunks).

The dude can’t walk right now; Bryant suffered a severe ankle sprain against the Hawks on Wednesday night and is currently out indefinitely.

Known as an extremely competitive guy, Kobe has taken to Twitter to vent his frustrations. He remains upset, but manages to bring the Twitterverse infinite joy in the process.

We’ll start at the beginning and allow you to follow along with Kobe’s building anger.

#dangerousplay that should have been called. Period.

So, by the end of his little touch-tone rant, Bryant seemed to have cooled off quite a bit, but we weren’t quite done perusing. Enjoy some of the funnier or most interesting Kobe Bryant tweets and re-tweets we found @KobeBryant.
