Video: Kobe Bryant tells team mates to get the [beep] out of his way… and misses

No shortage of confidence here

Conan Doherty

Erm, this is awkward.

Kobe Bryant is a fine basketball player, no one is denying that.  The problem is that he knows that all too well himself.

The Lakers legend made a right mug of himself last night against the Denver Nuggets.  With the game tied and 15 seconds to play of the fourth quarter, the LA outfit had obviously planned for Bryant to take the game-winning shot.  To which he instructed to the rest of his team mates in the huddle, “get the **** out of my way.”

Stay out of my way and watch me do my thing, basically.

How’d that work out for you, Kobe?  He takes the last shot, he misses the last shot, and Lakers lose by seven in overtime.
