‘Beat the s--- out of them’: Retiring legend Kobe Bryant fires up Lakers teammates

The secret behind the Los Angeles Lakers surprise win over NBA title favourites the Golden State Warriors may be out, after Kobe Bryant was filmed giving an expletive laden pep talk by Instagram user lrodstreet.

In his final season with the Lakers, Bryant still seems to be making an impression on his teammates.

“Beat the s--- out of them,” he was heard telling them during a stoppage.

The attempt to get his side fired up seemed to work as the Lakers, who sit last in their conference, took down the champions 112 – 95.
