Kobe Bryant Unbothered By His New Teammate Calling Him A Rapist

There was a mild kerfuffle following last week’s NBA draft, when some internet sleuth went spelunking into the Twitter history of Lakers draft pick Larry Nance Jr. and found this old tweet:

Sensing that Kobe Bryant is not the type of teammate that you want to get off on the wrong foot with, Nance Jr. sent Bryant an apologetic message, and Bryant was apparently like, “Hey, man, no biggie.”

“We’ve all said things and done things that we regret and wish we could take back.” Indeed.
