The Los Angeles Lakers are off to a really bad start, starting off the season at 6-16, and Kobe Bryant has had enough. Now during their practice early on Thursday morning, Kobe is calling all his teammates out.
According to Mike Bresnahan of the Los Angeles Time:
Epic trash talk between Kobe and Nick Young at practice. Young to Kobe: "Nobody in the world can guard me. Nobody!"

Kobe extremely unhappy on the practice court. "Now I see why we've lost so many games. We're soft like Charmin!"

Kobe yelled to Kupchak while leaving practice court: "These (expletives) aren't doing (expletive) for me." Didn't think team practiced hard.

More Kobe: He didn't think the second unit did a good enough job today. Starters crushed them in scrimmage.

It’s understanding, Kobe Bryant is an extreme competitor, and he hates losing. The Lakers are doing a lot of that, and its understandable that he voices his anger. The Lakers have picked it up recently, they need a solution, and fast. It’s hard to see one of the greatest of all-time in Kobe Bryant, not be able to win.
