Nick Young seems to take shot at Kobe Bryant

Nick Young seemed to take a shot at Kobe Bryant after the Los Angeles Lakers were blown out 111-77 in a loss to the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night.

Kobe led the Lakers in attempts but just was 1-of-14 from the field in the defeat. Young wasn’t great, but at least he went 3-of-10 for seven points.

After the game Young said the Lakers needed to “play as a team” and not “let one guy determine everything.”

When there’s one player on the team who takes 14 shots and nobody except Young took more than eight, it’s pretty easy to tell who he was talking about, especially since Young has called out Kobe in the past over this exact issue.

Bryant seems to be in denial about the reality of his declining skills.

“I could have scored 80 tonight, it wouldn’t have made a damn difference. We’ve got bigger problems,” Bryant said per the LA Daily News’ Mark Medina.

Actually, Kobe, if you were playing better, it probably would make a big difference. How could it not?

And when Nick Young talks about not making it a video game, he’s probably talking about videos like this.
