Kobe has joined Instagram!

Kobe Bryant is not quite the anti-social anymore. First he joins Twitter a few months back, and now last night he has joined Instagram. Bryant has an amazing follower. With less than 24 hours on the photo sharing app, Bryant already has 277k followers and 91,876 likes on a photo of the Los Angeles Times. Kobe can do no wrong in the eyes of many (including myself). It took a career threatening injury to prompt Kobe to join Instagram as well as leaving a heartfelt blog on his Facebook page expressing his frustration with the media saying this is the end of his career. Kobe is coming off as human and even more likable which is good for his brand.

Here's to wishing Kobe a speedy recovery, and welcome to Instagram!
