Earlier today, Bleacher Report published in article where Kobe Bryant was commenting on LeBron’s finals woes:
All I thought about as a kid personally was winning championships. That’s all I cared about. That’s how I valued Michael. That’s how I valued [Larry] Bird. That’s how I valued Magic [Johnson]. It was just winning championships. Now, everybody’s going to value things differently, which is fine. I’m just telling you how I value mine…
If I’m Bron, you got to figure out a way to win. It’s not about narrative. You want to win championships, you just gotta figure it out.
A fan, in response to the Bleacher Report article, said that Kobe wouldn’t even be a champion if he had been in LeBron’s shoes in the last six seasons via twitter:
If @kobebryant was on the Heat/Cavs instead of @KingJames the past 6 years, and faced the 13', 14' Spurs & 15',16',17', 18' Warriors, hed have ZERO rings. Context is everything. https://t.co/4KqR6qvZo2

This fan probably shot this Tweet off thinking that there was no way Kobe would ever read this, care, or that this Tweet would even get much traction at all; but today, Kobe had the time and the Black Mamba wanted all the smoke.
