Bryant Responds To Russell's 'McGrady, Greatest Of All Time' Tweet
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — D'Angelo Russell made headlines earlier in the week when he tweeted that Tracy McGrady was the "Greatest Of All Time " (GOAT).
Russell certainly raised some eyebrows across the league with the tweet but received no immediate reaction regarding the subject from teammate Kobe Bryant.
Honestly Tracy McGrady might have been the GOAT!

However, two days after the original tweet, Bryant replied to Russell with a simple emoji.

Russell, who is entering his first year with the Lakers, promptly responded to Bryant in a somewhat apologetic manner.
@kobebryant lol my bad he was nice though

Although the tone of Bryant's first tweet was unknown, he certainly cleared the air after Russell responded, saying that everything is "all luv" and that the two should "shock the world" this season.
Ha! All luv lil bro lets shock da world this season #historyhttps://t.co/IByKOGwFxn

Bryant called Russell his "lil bro," and the two seem to be getting along just fine. Russell seemed to agree with Bryant's last tweet about shocking the world, and replied with simply a "100" emoji.
