On Facebook, Kobe Bryant Pretends To Be Sad That He Got Mike Brown Fired

From Bryant's Facebook page:

Tough day. I've seen coaches as well as friends come and go. No matter how many years I've been playing, it's still hard to deal with. I had a good relationship with Mike and I will continue to have one. I wish him and his family nothing but the best. I spoke with him today and thanked him for all of his hard work and sacrifice.

As a team, we must focus our energy on tonight's game. We must block out the weight of today's news and simply do our jobs to the best of our ability.

I'm not sure what direction we are heading in next. All I can do is focus on the here and now. Mamba out

Whatever. That's all standard athlete-speak, and it won't do anything to curtail "Kobe got Mike Brown fired" theories. A boilerplate Facebook post just can't compete with a blood-curdling death stare. We do know that Bryant likes to use "Mamba out" as his signature now, though. So that's something.
