Kobe Bryant’s game isn’t what it used to be. Apparently that applies to his handshake game, too.
The Los Angeles Lakers guard is in the midst of his final NBA season, and to be honest, it isn’t going too well. But Bryant had a decent game Tuesday night, leading L.A. with 22 points in a rare win over the Milwaukee Bucks.
Four of those points came on an impressive 3-pointer and a foul, but his free throw was preceded by the most cringeworthy interaction with a fan you’ll ever see.
That’s a really brutal handshake. Let’s see it again.
To be honest, a lot of this awkwardness is on Kobe, whose hand essentially goes away as the Staples Center fan desperately tried to salvage the handshake. Then again, the Lakers’ win snapped a six-game losing streak, so maybe Bryant should do these more often.
