Once again, it appears that Kobe Bryant left a sour taste in the mouth of another high-profile free agent who met with the Los Angeles Lakers. Earlier today, reports suggested the Lakers may no longer be in the running for LaMarcus Aldridge following an unsavory ordeal with Bryant during their face-to-face meeting.

More LMA: He and Kobe didn't quite gel. It's a little vague, but Aldridge apparently didn't quite get answers from Kobe he was seeking.

Kobe spoke for about three minutes in the presentation, said he envisioned LaMarcus Aldridge working with him the same way Pau Gasol did.

After Twitter hypothesized what went down with Kobe which led to Aldridge's desire to look elsewhere... 

Kobe was like "what blood type are you" and LaMarcus was like "uh, I gotta go."

Kobe hopped on his account to respond to all the reports with a #MambaMeme.

While his meme game could use some work, Bryant is just telling us the long-standing belief that you shouldn't believe everything you read. Hear you loud and clear, Kobe. So LMA is coming to L.A. or nah?
