Kobe Bryant has issued a statement about his homophobic outburst during last night’s Lakers game — essentially admitting to using the word “f**got” and explaining, “What I said last night should not be taken literally.”

Kobe continues, “My actions were out of frustration during the heat of the game, period. “

He adds, “The words expressed do NOT reflect my feelings towards the gay and lesbian communities and were NOT meant to offend anyone.”
