You remember the recent video of Lakers’ Kobe Bryant going off on teammates and GM Mitch Kupchak? Well apparently that isn’t anything new.
Speaking with NBA Radio, Mitch said the tirade was blown out of proportion and that Kobe’s out burst was simply a product of some trash talking, competition and high energy.
Or as Mitch says, he loved Kobe’s outburst.
After the Kobe incident, the Lakers went on to beat the Spurs in San Antonio. Now, was his lambasting of teammates a product of it, who knows but it certainly seemed to have worked.
