Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Kobe Bryant unloaded on his teammates in his a expletive-laced post-practice rant Thursday.
Perhaps the most noteworthy moment of Bryant’s outburst was when he compared the Lakers to toilet paper brand Charmin.
Kobe extremely unhappy on the practice court. "Now I see why we've lost so many games. We're soft like Charmin!"

Well, Charmin, seizing the opportunity of free advertising quickly responded to Bryant’s comments with a funny tweet.
You know, in terms of toilet paper, saying you're as soft as Charmin is a good thing. In basketball? Not so much. #tweetfromtheseat

This is well done by Charmin and their marketing efforts appear to have been a big success, as their tweet already has more than 400 retweets as the time of the post.
However, if Charmin is the big winner of the situation, Bryant’s Lakers teammates are the big losers here. Kobe disrespected them to a fairly significant extent with his comments Wednesday.
Kobe yelled to Kupchak while leaving practice court: "These (expletives) aren't doing (expletive) for me." Didn't think team practiced hard.
