Remember when Kobe Bryant called an NBA referee an anti-gay slur in 2011? It appears that experience was a life lesson for the Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard because he is now schooling others for using anti-gay slurs.
Early Monday morning at 12:44am Bryant told a fan on twitter that he shouldn't insult someone by calling them 'gay.'
It started out with fans' tweet:
You're gay "@pookeo9: @kobebryant Let's make out in bed Kobe."

Which led to this reaction from Bryant:
Just letting you know@PacSmoove @pookeo9 that using "your gay" as a way to put someone down ain't ok! #notcool delete that out ur vocab
-- Kobe Bryant (@kobebryant) February 11, 2013
Another fan went on to remind Bryant that he had use an anti-gay slur in the past also.
@kobebryant @pookeo9 Come on Kobe...you called a ref a FAGGOT. Don't preach, just win.

Bryant replied with the following:
@onepercentofone @pookeo9 exactly! That wasn't cool and was ignorant on my part. I own it and learn from it and expect the same from others
