Kobe Bryant rehab UPDATE: 'Black Mamba' cleared to shoot and run, tells fans to 'flush' lost season [VIDEO]

As news of him being cleared to run and shoot spreads like wildfire, Kobe Bryant is imploring L.A. Lakers fans to "flush" the team's record-setting 55 lost season.

Apparently not able to watch any more of the ineptitude, Bryant took off for a family vacation in France before the Lakers'season actually ended this week, but apparently his struggling mates still weren't far from his mind.

Kobe doesn't want Mike D'Antoni as coach next season?

"S*** season," Bryant recently tweeted. "Flush it. Forget it. Next Season will be epic."

ProBasketballTalk.com reports Bryant is due back in the states next week at which time he plans to embark on a strenous, six-month training program aimed at getting him in shape for next season. The website adds while in Europe, the 35-year-old Bryant plans to visit the clinic where he previously had platelet-rich plasma treatments done on his ailing left knee.

Since suffering his season-ending knee injury in just the sixth game of the season on Dec. 17, Bryant has vented his frustrations over what proved to be the Lakers' (27-55) worst season in team history, at one point even expressing uncertainty over if he wanted Mike D'Antoni to return as coach next season.

Kobe says next season will be sweet revenge for Lakers

No matter who mans the sidelines for the Lakers, next season they will be coaching an entirely different team, as the contracts of 11 of the teams 15 players expire before the start of next season.

The Lakers signed Bryant to a two-year, $48 million extension in late November.
