Beware, would-be purse thieves. Kobe Bryant is on the watch.
Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers were doused by the Golden State Warriors 136-115 on Sunday to fall to 1-9 on the season, despite Bryant scoring 44 points. The five-time champion, whose frustration has been simmering, dismissed questions about him taking 34 of the Lakers’ 99 field goal attempts in the loss.
“Obviously I’d rather get guys involved early, but if a purse gets stolen in front of you, how many blocks are you going to let the guy run?” Bryant told reporters, according to ESPN.com. “You going to chase him down and keep him in sight yourself or just wait for the authorities to get there, or decide to let him run and wait for the authorities to get there? It’s a tough thing.”
The Lakers are off to the worst 10-game start in franchise history, making it hard even for diehard fan Jack Nicholson to continue watching. Fortunately, even with Nicholson dozing off, Bryant remains vigilant. Because deep down, in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want Bryant on that wall, you need him on that wall, between you and purse-snatchers everywhere.
You just can’t handle the truth.
