Kobe Bryant wasn’t in any mood to give teammate Roy Hibbert some love Thursday night.
Hibbert threw out his hand for a high-five in the first quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers’ 114-91 loss to the Chicago Bulls at Staples Center. The gesture was met with a swat, as Bryant seemed more concerned about the Lakers getting dumptrucked than exchanging pleasantries with Hibbert.
It’s been that kind of season for the Lakers, who fell to 9-39 with the loss. Bryant has been treated like a king during his farewell tour, but it’s obvious that losing so many games isn’t sitting well with the five-time NBA champion.
Hibbert probably should plan better next time.
