Here's Kobe Bryant, well on his way to suffering through yet another blowout, driving into the lane and making a nice kick-out pass during last night's Clippers-Lakers game. Unfortunately for Kobe, this play was canceled out by a three-second violation called against Dwight Howard. Fortunately for us, one of the mics on the arena floor was aimed right at Kobe as he exclaimed, "Goddamn! You fucking asshole!" after the play. It's always fun to hear athletes curse!
But the real question is this: Who was Kobe calling an asshole? Was it the referee for having such a quick trigger on the three-second call? Was it Dwight Howard for parking himself in the lane and eliciting the violation? Or perhaps it was himself, for not being perfect and finding a way to single-handedly erase his team's 22-point deficit with one play. We're just going to assume that he was yelling at Howard, because everybody hates Dwight Howard.
