Phil Jackson took over Twitter during March Madness, and it seems he's rubbed off on Kobe Bryant. Mambe took to Twitter during the Lakers' first round game against the San Antonio Spurs. Kobe was frustrated, wanted LA to get the ball in the paint, and reached out to Phil for advice. Though he said he enjoyed interacting with fans, he realized he was vreating a distraction for the team, something the Lakers clearly don't need after losing 91079 on the road.
Thank you @nike for this surprise spread in the paper this am. It touched me beyond words. #showuIwill instagram.com/p/YX3oQxxNr8/

I like how Nash is moving so far. Both teams a lil out of rhythm to start

Gotta keep the spurs offense in front of our d. They r great at penetrating and pitching to their shooters

@themontelshow spurs ability to change sides of the floor andget penetration is hurting us.have to pick up pressure,make them uncomfortable

@nbarocksstc I agree. Lethargic start for us. Gotta minimize little mistakes like giving up the middle drive on close outs

@philjackson11 I gotta do something. It's horrible not being able to at least be there with them.

I see my tweeting during the game is being talked about as much as the game itself. Not my intention , just bored as I guess #notagain
