Kobe Bryant was critical of his teammates in practice:
“Kobe Bryant returned to practice for the first time this month and called his teammates “soft” during a heated 5-on-5 scrimmage between the starters and reserves Thursday.
When practice was opened to the media, Bryant and Nick Young were already trading barbs during the scrimmage with Young telling Bryant, “Nobody in the world can guard me one-on-one,” and Bryant telling Young, “You’re going exactly where I want you to go.”
Later Bryant said, “You m—–f—— are soft like Charmin in this m—–f—–. God damn, is this the type of s— that’s going on in these practices? Now I see why we’ve lost 20 f—ing games. We’re soft like Charmin. We’re soft like s—.”
