An uncensored Kobe Bryant<\/strong> went off on his teammates<\/a> during a scrimmage yesterday, and his excessive trash-talking was caught on film for the world to see. One of the biggest takeaways from yesterday’s happenings was Nick Young’s<\/strong> willingness to jaw back at the future Hall of Famer and him telling\u00a0this to his teammates per Arash Markazi of ESPNLosAngeles.com’s article:<\/p>\n

“Me and Kobe are always going to talk trash and get into it. When he talks to everybody else, some people tend to shy away and I was telling them (his teammates) you have to have some cojones in this league. It doesn’t matter who it is. Play your game. Don’t get any less confident out there. Talk trash right back to him.”<\/p>\n

The two Lakers shooting guards seem to have developed a big brother-little brother type of relationship over the past two years, but the two have been facing each other since the 2007-2008 NBA season. Today, we take a look back at Kobe Bryant vs. Nick Young from a sneaker standpoint.<\/p>\n
