Twitter reacts to Kobe Bryant’s possible torn Achilles tendon
With Kobe Bryant attempting to carry the Los Angeles Lakers on his back and into the NBA playoffs, the Black Mamba suffered what appears to be an complete tear of the Achilles tendon Friday night vs. the Golden State Warriors.
It was the third lower-body injury Bryant had suffered in the game and what would easily be the most devastating setback of his illustrious career.
NBA players, fellow athletes, fans, and of course Kobe, took to Twitter to voice their thoughts on Bryant's injury:
Random tears of devastation and doubt mixed with inner determination and will #countonfamily #countonprayer THANKU #vicodintweets comin ha!
