Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant offered a small swipe at his critics
Thursday when the subject of his passing was brought up after practice.
Bryant took only four shots in the first half of Wednesday's victory over
the Los Angeles Clippers but had eight assists. He set up Luke Walton, Brian
Cook and Chucky Atkins for two jumpers apiece as the Clippers aggressively
double-teamed him.
"I've always done that," Bryant said. "It's just how people interpret it out
here. Last year, I do it in the first half and they say I'm sabotaging. I do
it this season to start the game, I don't take a shot, and it's, 'Wow, it's
great leadership.' It's all how you view it."
