Sunday afternoon against the Warriors, Kobe Bryant had a distinct message for his Lakers’ teammates
In the biggest upset in NBA history, statistically speaking, Kobe Bryant proved that despite only having 20 games left in his storied career, that his competitive juices are still flowing as much as ever.
In what looks like a fan video taken from directly behind the Lakers bench during a huddle, Kobe instructs his young co-stars to “beat the sh-t out of them,” them being the Warriors.
The Lakers took the Black Mamba’s message in stride, thoroughly whooping the defending champs by 17 points, withstanding all of their runs and even providing a bit of showtime along the way.
