His face said it all
The Los Angeles Lakers have been so bad this season, that they’re a shoe in for a Top 5 pick in this year’s draft (if they don’t get Top 5, the pick goes to the Philadelphia 76ers, thanks to their trade with the Phoenix Suns). Kobe Bryant was playing well, considering the amount of shots he was taken, but all it took was a torn rotator cuff to sideline him for the thirst straight season.
After an eight game losing streak, the Lakers managed to pull off a win against the Boston Celtics on Sunday, giving the home crowd a good show in overtime.
Jeremy Lin was interviewed after the game to speak on his performance and W, which led to other players like Nick Young, Jordan Hill and Carlos Boozer to crash his post-game interview with ridiculousness. It was sort of funny and awkward, but they snapped a losing streak. What more do you expect? They don’t get to enjoy the wins as much this season.
During his latest interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Kobe was asked about this particular incident, which he had absolutely no words for. The anger in face spoke a thousand words and we can already see the wrath of the Black Mamba come down during practice on every last one of the players who were involved in this post-game interview.
Kimmel tried to detract the conversation after it took that wrong turn but the fury was too strong. Kobe went on to confess he verbally slapped a player before.
Good luck to Swaggy P, Hill, Boozer and Lin.
