    The worst part of this is all the cringe Redditors pretending they were crying during the ceremony

    Wearing a black mamba jersey against a Colorado team is wild lmao

    Lakers organization going all out to praise a sex abuser, shame.

    đź’€ that is an insane opponent to debut that statue and jersey against

    It couldn’t be any other team, they wouldn’t honor Kobe’s legacy as well.

    I hear some staffers asked Rob if this was in poor taste and wondered if they should move the unveiling, but in true Black Mamba spirit he wouldn’t take no for an answer.

    I feel like every tweet using the “Black Mamba” nickname for Kobe needs to come with that “Twitter Context” tab right underneath it

    ​

    >**Readers added context they thought people would want to know**: Kobe Bryant gave himself the nickname “Black Mamba” in an effort to create a superhero alter-ego that would distract himself and others from his admission that he once raped a woman in Colorado. He took the name from a late night viewing of the movie Kill Bill part 2

    Could be a tough game.The burden the Lakers carry of not beating the Nuggets only grows. If the Nuggets spoil that night for them how much more momentum will it gain.

    honoring Kobe on the night they play a Colorado team. that was definitely a choice

    It had to be against Denver? The locale of Kobe’s quickly forgotten rape.

  24. LosAngeles1s

    The only way this could get any funnier is if they play on a neutral court in Eagle, Colorado.
