Watch Kobe Bryant’s tremendous reaction to the LA Lakers post-game celebration

KOBE Bryant was shown footage of his Lakers teammates wildly celebrating a meaningless win amid their dismal NBA season. His reaction was terrifying.

GIVE this to Kobe Bryant: Even in the midst of one of the most trying seasons of his career, he’s maintaining his almost-unrivalled intensity.

On Sunday night, in the Lakers’ overtime victory over the Celtics, a Lakers TV reporter was interviewing Jeremy Lin (25 points) when Nick Young and Jordan Hill crashed the interview.

The three of them — plus Carlos Boozer, who makes a brief cameo — clowned it up for the cameras, one of the few bright spots in a miserable Lakers season that has them at 14-41, the fourth-worst record in the league.

On Monday night, Bryant, appearing on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” was asked by Kimmel if there would have been a celebration if he were there.

Cue death stare.
