Hassan Whiteside tweets a picture of himself dunking on Kobe to congratulate him on retirement

Around the NBA, many are taking time to Tweet or post to Instagram their appreciation of Kobe Bryant after the 37-year old shooting guard announced that he would retire at the end of the 2015-16 NBA season. Hassan Whiteside of the Miami Heat was the latest to join in on the love fest, and his picture choice was certainly one of the most interesting so far:

That's right: Hassan Whiteside tweeted a picture of himself dunking on Kobe Bryant to congratulate the latter on retirement in one of the biggest #humblebrags in the history of Twitter. Or, as Ethan Strauss of ESPN put it:

This is incredible. It's like something Kenny Powers would do https://t.co/iDjB57rbdL

That is exactly like something Kenny Powers from "Eastbound and Down" would do. Hassan Whiteside is officially the Kenny Powers of the NBA.
