    Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue shared a new Kobe practice story and it's possibly the best yet. According to Lue, he once blocked Bryant's dunk attempt during a practice. Pinned it against the glass, in fact, leading to the game-winning bucket the other way. Bryant did not take the result well. "He went crazy," Lue told ESPN. "Kobe wanted to fight me at first and then, second, he wanted to play one-on-one after practice."

    Bryant did not fight Lue and Lue turned down the overtures to play one-on-one. But it didn't end there.

    He was so mad and then, after that, it was just, every day we stepped onto the court, he just went after me every single day. It was crazy.

    Kobe holding a compe ive grudge over a single blocked shot and making sure to take it out on the person one practice at a time sounds very Kobe Bryant like. But it gets even better.

    Every time we acquired a new guy, he would play those guys one-on-one after every practice just to show them, like, ‘I'm the man, I'm the man.'

    Think of all those poor rookies who got absolutely owned in practice by Bryant over the years. All because Tyronn Lue once blocked Bryant's shot.


    The story eventually got back to Bryant and he responded in classic form.

    Kobe said he didn't recall Tyronn Lue blocking him in practice: "Maybe he did. But I bet I kicked his ass more than he blocked me."

    Tyrone could have won 3 attached to Shaq's hip.

    Shaq is 9th all time. Lue could have finished in the top 12 if he was asked to play second fiddle to Shaq. Just like T-Mac, AI, etc.

    No wonder the rookies go in full of hope and look defeated by the end of the week.

    Maybe Pop could put a word in for them to Kobe.

    Well, he had that one great game, then called a presser afterward.

    I can't hate Lue. He put Iverson in a box, then kicked him into a hole.

    Kobe's an asshole who didn't get called out for it nearly enough; but I still laugh at him going off on Mitch over those players being "soft as Charmin."

    Explains his ballhoggedness, because he just spends practice playing 1:1.

    Yeah, the knee-buckling after the first piece caused Childs to slightly mis-connect on the second piece. But that's probably the best two-piece the league has ever seen.

    Childs
