The Los Angeles Lakers had better hope their players have thick skin, or they might be in for some trouble.
Kobe Bryant never has been easy on his teammates, and that was evident during L.A.’s practice Thursday. The star guard apparently reached a breaking point with the 6-16 Lakers and blew up on his comrades, and even general manager Mitch Kupchak.
ESPN’s Arash Markazi tweeted the details of the “uncomfortable” practice.

L.A. probably isn’t too happy that Bryant threw his fit in front of the media, but at least someone is benefiting from the press.

The Lakers will see if Bryant’s harsh words motivate or hurt the team when they take on the San Antonio Spurs on Friday.
