The Lakers came out with a victory last night, 108-106 versus the Golden State Warriors; however, they also came out with the loss to Kobe Bryant, who suffered a torn achilles injury that has ended his 2012-2013 season. We all know what kind of warrior Kobe Bryant has been throughout his career. Diehard Laker fans have appreciated his greatness and have never taken the Black Mamba for granted.
Take a look at what fans and athletes had to say about Kobe, what this says about the Lakers season, and what their chances are on making playoffs as the regular season comes to and end.
1. It was painful to watch the best Laker go down with an injury and quickly thinking that his age is only going up. Keep your head up, Kobe.
Random tears of devastation and doubt mixed with inner determination and will #countonfamily #countonprayer THANKU #vicodintweets comin ha!
