Apparently the makers of NBA 2K16 wanted to make the game so realistic that Kobe Bryant is not a nice person

We know Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant for a lot of things. Most notably, Bryant is one of the greatest basketball players not just of this generation, but of all-time. However, we also know him for sometimes not coming across as the nicest person in the world to deal with.

Well, apparently, that perception was big enough to carry over into the world of video gaming.

A Twitter user recently came across something rather peculiar in the new NBA 2K16 video game. As the Lakers are taking on the Golden State Warriors, Harrison Barnes sinks a free throw. As is customary on the court, after sinking the shot, Barnes offers up a high five to teammate Draymond Green. Well, that high five is promptly intercepted by Bryant after the shot.


Kobe Bryant in the video game world has absolutely no chill and that’s just the greatest thing ever. This probably wasn’t done on purpose, but this still might be the greatest glitch ever in a video game, mainly because you could maybe see Kobe doing something like this in real life.
