Now that the playoffs are officially over for the LA Lakers, Kobe Bryant has once again taken to twitter, after it was brought to his attention he might be a distraction to the team. Today he broke his twitter silence, to comment and show support for NBA big man Jason Collins, who became the first North American professional athlete to come out of the closet while still actively playing.
Proud of @jasoncollins34. Don’t suffocate who u r because of the ignorance of others #courage #support #mambaarmystandup #BYOU
