Twitter goes in on Jamie Foxx for leaving Kobe off all-time greats list
Jamie Foxx caught some serious flak after omitting Kobe Bryant from a list of all-time NBA greats.
While appearing on ESPN's "NBA Countdown" on Wednesday night, the actor was asked to respond to a meme Tracy McGrady posted - and later deleted - on Instagram asking who out of Bryant, Hakeem Olajuwon, LeBron James, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Tim Duncan, and Shaquille O'Neal is the "worst."
Foxx, without hesitation, chose Bryant.
His answer didn't go over well with Kobe fans:

I'm not caring about what Jamie Foxx just said about removing Kobe, its obvious you can't trust a man who has 7 different hairlines

Jamie Foxx said Kobe wasn't a team player, so he'd take him off the list. 5 rings must be a team. Kiss my ass bruh.
