Kobe Bryant makes bathroom joke about Lakers getting No. 2 pick
While he was celebrating his fifth NBA title back in 2010, Kobe Bryant likely never envisioned himself rooting for the ping-pong balls to fall the Los Angeles Lakers’ way. But he needed them to on Tuesday night, and it couldn’t have gone much better for Kobe’s team.
The Lakers, who finished with the fourth-worst record in the NBA, earned the No. 2 overall pick. Bryant celebrated with a pretty clever bathroom joke.
We played like crap all season so it's only right we get the #2 pick HA #lakerluck #goodday

The Lakers are now in position to draft a player who should make an immediate impact in their front court, whether it’s Kentucky’s Karl-Anthony Towns or Duke’s Jahlil Okafor.
The New York Knicks, meanwhile, fell to No. 4 in the draft lottery after winning just 17 games and finishing a game behind (in front?) of the Minnesota Timberwolves for the worst record in the league. We wouldn’t blame Knicks fans for feeling cheated, especially knowing how much a certain player wanted to play for them.
