Bryant joins the Twitter bandwagon

KOBE Bryant is no longer a holdout. He's on Twitter.

With five words, "The antisocial has become social", the Los Angeles Lakers guard sent the first tweet from his account on Friday. About 250,000 people followed his verified account, @kobebryant, within a few hours and he was up to 365,000 late on Friday night.

Bryant tiptoed into the Twitterverse last week when he briefly took over Nike basketball's account, when he sent out things like a photo of him hanging out with his daughter, an ice bath that he was dreading and even a suit he was wearing to a particular game. Bryant said he enjoyed connecting with fans "with no filters."
