Video: Kobe Bryant, James Harden Trash Talk During Lakers vs. Thunder

The Oklahoma City Thunder absolutely destroyed the Los Angeles Lakers 100-85 on Thursday night. Given how easily the victory was coming, OKC’s young players were understandably confident and brash towards the end of the outing. That confidence eventually manifested itself in James Harden and Kobe Bryant jawing back and forth at one another following what Bryant apparently perceived to be a little too much celebrating from the Thunder.


While nobody seems to have a legitimate account of the words exchanged during the verbal sparring session depicted in the video below (via Jose3030), Bryant broke it down in very Kobe-ish terms after the game (via SLAM): “Maybe one day they’ll be able to sit at my lunch table,” he said. “Right now we’re at two different lunch tables, man. The conversation’s pretty brief.”
