That time came Thursday when Bryant ripped apart his teammates and yelled at general manger Mitch Kupchak in an outburst for the ages during and after a practice.
For much of Thursday, there were only quotes of Bryant’s freakout.

Woah.
You rarely, if ever, see a player dress down their teammates to such a degree.
It certainly will be interesting to see what type of effect Bryant’s rant will have on the Lakers’ season. The most likely result: they will still suck.
