Kobe Bryant reflects on his journey in self-written editorial

Kobe Bryant joined social media in 2011 with a Facebook account, then set Twitter ablaze in 2012. He learned quickly how to master the medium and grab the attention of his followers: tweet rarely, but when you do so, make it count. According to him, he writes his own FB posts and his own tweets, but we've yet to see him write anything longer.

While this piece from The Players' Tribune, isn't the true definition of "long,"it's from the Mamba's own pen and a nice read to boot, even this scary little gem:

I considered maybe just giving up basketball and just focusing on soccer.

Enjoy.
