Kobe Bryant calls out media for reporting what Kobe Bryant once said about Shaq

Kobe called out the media on Twitter for making the same criticisms of Shaq that he has made before.

Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY Sports

Kobe Bryant took to Twitter on Monday to defend Russell Westbrook's 54 points on 43 shots performance from over the weekend, and Bryant was at it again on Tuesday, this time defending others who have been critiqued by that gosh-darned evil media:

There’s some validity to Kobe’s overarching point about the media sometimes being too critical, but isn’t he forgetting what he told the New Yorker just a year ago?:

I guess it’s the media’s fault for reporting the negative things Kobe has had to say about Shaq.
