D’Angelo Russell’s Tracy McGrady opinions made Kobe Bryant tweet a sleeping emoji

Tracy McGrady is the GOAT? Kobe Bryant doesn’t have time for that.

Los Angeles Lakers rookie point guard D’Angelo Russell tweeted a seemingly innocent and normal thing on Thursday when he said “Honestly Tracy McGrady might have been the GOAT!” That would be an innocent and normal thing if Russell wasn’t now teammates with Kobe Bryant.

Kobe wasn’t having it.

That perfectly summed up the response from Lakers fans, many of which tweeted Kobe memes at Russell in initial response.

Russell is laughing about it ... for now.

We will see if he is still laughing when training camp begins. Kobe may have tweeted a sleeping emoji like he doesn’t care, but once it gets to the court, he’s probably going to go all out on Russell every second of practice to show him who the GOAT is.

For the record, McGrady was awesome. Russell has that part right.
