It’s probably a weird time to be American hero and U.S. Women’s National Team captain Carli Lloyd. She is currently stuck in a position where she is supposed to play for her club team, but because the Yanks won the World Cup and she was the tournament’s best player, Lloyd is doing a lot of media appearances that take her away from her team.
Someone on Twitter had a question: how is Lloyd able to balance both of these? According to Lloyd, it’s all mental.

Because Twitter can be the worst thing in the world sometimes, someone saw this and decided to accuse Lloyd of only wanting to be a celebrity, which she said is a lie.
@CarliLloyd @pegyscarters Carli is more interested in being a celebrity now than being a soccer player

However, because Twitter can actually be the best thing in the world sometimes, a few people came to Lloyd’s defense, none more notable than Los Angeles Lakers guard and noted USWNT/Carli Lloyd fan Kobe Bryant.
Well.. I can name 2 tweets @CarliLloyd definitely shouldn't be "interested" in @ronaldguzman12 @pegyscarters

Phil Jackson was right, you can definitely feel Mamba’s hatred…well, maybe not his hatred, but certainly his disdain for trolls on Twitter.
