He's pretty active on social media, which wasn't around during his time either.
You're buying into the alpha Kobe persona he's been trying to portray for the past 20 years.
He's insecure and more petty than you could ever imagine. He DOES care about his 2K rating... A LOT.
But if asked about it, he'll put on his Kobe badass persona and play it off.... and his stupid fans will eat it up "WOW KOBE SO ALPHA HE DONT GAF!!!!!!!
"
Just like they tried saying he'd never be on social media. Back when they'd get on LeBron for being on there...
But low and behold... Kobe the ultimate attention whore decides he needs to be on twitter too, so he can fit in. Beta.
