It’s been a bad few days for Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant as not only was he teabagged during a game, leading to a former teammate cracking up over the incident, now he’s getting trolled by his current teammates like Nick Young.
Both Bryant and Young have a pretty solid relationship which is often filled with friendly banter between the two, even if the Black Mamba can at times get frustrated with Young’s perceived immature ways.
Still, that isn’t enough to stop the jokes flowing between the two, like when Nick Young decided to troll his mentor on Sunday night.
After Kobe Bryant became the first player in NBA history to record 30,000 points and 6,000 assists in his career, Swaggy P couldn’t help put shine the spotlight back on himself.
Nick Young on Kobe: "I think he got some potential. On my 20th year, I’ll probably have 46,000 points or something like that."

Nick Young was of course simply having fun and being his over-the-top self though it’s not known if Kobe Bryant found the statement funny given how serious he is about his statistical figures.
Still, Bryant who has reportedly become far more nurturing according to teammates probably took the troll job with a grain of salt and is likely thinking of a comeback.
Much like his game, his responses are usually more witty and crafty than Young’s, so it should be interested to see what type of joke Kobe Bryant comes up with. Keep in mind, this is the same guy who blasted Young suggesting that his girlfriend, rapper Iggy Azalea had a better career resume than the former USC talent.
