Nick Young and Lou Williams Trash-Talked Kobe Bryant in Practice, Guess What Happened

Kobe Bryant is currently preparing for what could be a very long season. “Experts” maintain that with lots of luck – and little injury -the Lakers could maybe compete for the 8th seed in the West! Vegas has the Lakers over/under win total set at 29.5. Their 7’2″, $15 million center, Roy Hibbert, fancies himself an outside shooter. Metta World Peace, 35, who spent last season playing overseas, is in serious danger of making the team.

Still, that doesn’t mean Kobe is going to take it easy in his 20th NBA season. He’s starting at practice. By showing his lesser peers what’s up.

Metta on Kobe's practice: "He was scoring in people's faces, talking trash." Someone apparently talked trash to Kobe and it fired him up.

Turns out there were *two* players who fired up Kobe by talking trash to him at practice today: Lou Williams and, no surprise, Nick Young.

That’s right. Lou Williams and Nick Young. Luckily, the Lakers travel to Brooklyn and New York during the second week of the season, so Kobe will have an opportunity to play some similarly capable defenders.
