Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant has never been shy about his standing as one of the greatest NBA players to ever grace the hardwood. Not only was he one of the premier scorers in the NBA during his prime, but he was the leader of one of the greatest dynasties the league has ever seen.
So what does he have to say to haters who call him a “selfish” player? One Twitter user asked him that question on Saturday.
@kobebryant what do you say to people who call you a selfish basketball player? Thoughts?

Surprisingly, Kobe responded with about as Kobe of a response as you could ask for.
Count to 5 https://t.co/5YB1hUKKdF — Kobe Bryant (@kobebryant) June 6, 2015
It’s not at all surprising to see Bryant take the “count the rings” approach, especially since he ranks among the 26 NBA players to have five or more championships under their belt. Kobe has always been known as one of the game’s best, and he’s certainly not ashamed to show it.
