Twitter Reacts To Kobe Bryant’s BIG3 Rumor

Some NBA legends, paired up with 3-on-3 basketball and a four point shot, touring the bigger cities in the nation during the NBA offseason. Before the start of the BIG 3 league last year, this sounded like a great idea. Turns out, it was a great idea.

With the second season in the books, the league is becoming more and more popular and had some great ratings in its second year. Enough to attract one of the all time greats?

According to co-founder Jeff Kwatinetz, yes! During a conference call, he said that a credible source told him that Kobe Bryant would be playing next year.

Rumors like this obviously send the basketball universe into state of chaos with everyone posting, commentig, agreeing or disagreeing.

While Kobe Inc. Chief Marketing Officer Molly Carter said that there was no chance that Kobe will play the BIG 3,

“Forget that Kobe to the BIG3 idea. Molly Carter, chief marketing officer of Kobe Inc., says he definitely is not playing next year.”

NBA (Basketball) Twitter reacted nontheless. Check it out:
