VIDEO: Kobe Bryant wants a seat, orders rookie to sit on the floor

Chain of command

JOE

Jesus…

What’s that old quote about Vince Lombardi? When Vince says ‘sit down’, you don’t look for a chair.

When Kobe says ‘get up’, you get the f**k up.

He’s a legend, he’s a servant and he’s one of the greatest, but don’t think that he hasn’t forgotten where he’s come from. Because as senses of entitlement go, Kobe Bryant’s is right up there.

The Lakers man wasn’t playing his side’s game against the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night but he obviously wasn’t happy with his seat as either as he opted to switch mid-match and ordered Larry Nance Jr up off the bench.

It’s like the seasoned old timer calling rank on the minor. Know your place.
