Kobe Bryant Joins Twitter


Recommended Posts

I understand how it could be a topic on a message board, but ESPN made it a part of their news today, lol. Hilarious.

Yeah. I was listening to ESPN Radio today on my way to and from work and they mentioned it like three times.

 

I can assure you Kobe is one person I won't be following. :lol:

Probably had to buy it or something. I don't really know how that works but I'm sure it was taken before.

I thought what they did was prevent people from using names of celebrities and athletes, unless they can prove they really are him/her. At least thats how they do it on facebook.

Only 446,128 followers? C'mon...

Time - Number of followers:

12:50 PM - 693,957

12:53 PM - 693,963

12:55 PM - 693,977

12:57 PM - 694,220

 

It was at 694,297 right before I follwed him... a click later it said 694,309. Kobe will have more than a million followers before OTR's 8th birthday.
