Kobe Bryant was one of the fiercest competitors and just because you were his teammate it didn’t mean you were automatically on his good side.

On Thursday, Jeremy Lin was a guest on the Inside The Green Room podcast with Danny Green and he shared a comical story about what Kobe Bryant said to JLin and his Lakers teammates the day before the 2015 trade deadline.
 

 

Imagine being on the #Lakers with Kobe Bryant and going into February w/ trading deadline approaching with a 13-34 record. @Jlin7 recalled a practice during that 2014-15 season.

The best part is all the guys were so happy to see Kobe Bryant in the gym working out, but it was all for him to get in one final chirp before some of them got traded.

In case you forgot, these were some of the Los Angeles Lakers players Kobe made sure to chirp before the trade deadline.
 

The team was 13-34 at the time of the practice trash talking, so Kobe was just speaking the truth.
