Kobe Bryant has a Twitter account. If you’re just catching wind of that now, you’ve been missing out on a whole lot of humorous, yet knowledgable tweets since Bryant became social on Jan. 4.

I’ll try and compile Kobe’s best tweets, but really, all of his tweets are relevant.

The tweet above came after Bryant and fellow teammate Dwight Howard reportedly engaged in a dust-up. Bryant shot down those rumors with a touch of humor via his Twitter account.
Kobe constantly provides his followers with daily insights into his life like, well, most people. Except, Kobe Bryant is Kobe Bryant. Any information regarding his life is a prized 140 characters compared to your average follower.
Next up, we have Kobe venting his anger through Twitter.
This one is on meCouldn't throw the ball in the ocean if I was sitting on a boat. Had plenty of easy looks#noexcuses gotta get my legs back

This tweet comes just a few hours after the Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Toronto Raptors by a final tally of 108-103 on Jan. 20. More specifically, Bryant shot 10-for-32 from the field. He did score 26 points, but as he admitted, it was an inefficient 26 points.
When Bryant scored 81 points against the Raptors in 2006, he surely wasn’t inefficient. Luckily, fans got the privilege to follow along with Kobe, as he live-tweeted his 81-point game in January.
Below is probably the most notable tweet among the several thoughts that Kobe rendered throughout his personal videotape study.
Watching the game now, the easy shots I missed, I could of had 100 pts! #countonkobe

Next up, Bryant provides his followers with some advice.
When ur game take a s*i* . Flush it. Get up and move on #mambaism

There isn’t really much to say about the above tweet, but you’d be wise to listen to “mambaism.”
The entertaining portion of Kobe’s tweets really take full force after he tore his Achilles on April 13 against the Golden State Warriors.

Bryant always seems to shed some positive light over a negative situation. But clearly, Kobe can’t stand being on the shelf as he tries to discover new hobbies.
Taking/editing pics just ain't my thing lol but what hell else am I gonna do but try it out now .. #nadabuttime

Unfortunately for Kobe, he couldn’t help the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs against the San Antonio Spurs.
Nothing worse then watching your bothers struggle and u can't do crap about it #realtalk

His in-game tweeting was entertaining simply because he’s taking the basketball world inside his mind. It’s not too often you can go inside the mind of one of the NBA’s greatest players to ever play the game.
Just a day after numerous of his in-game tweets became worldwide sensations, Kobe put a halt on it, with a touch of humor, of course.
To tweet or not to tweet.. I CHOOSE not 2. Focus should be on the team not my insight. @georgelopez voice "Can't DO nothin!" #vinospeare

Since Bryant’s last in-game tweet on April 22, his Twitter account hasn’t been as active. Still, you can get a good kick out of scrolling through his timeline, which we accomplished here. But if you’re a basketball fan, he’s much, much more entertaining to watch when he’s on the court.
