Welcome to elite play of the NBA, Mr. Julius Randle!
Friday night, Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant were spotted in Oklahoma City having dinner together. This generalization from most this weekend, has been Bryant trying to actively recruit Durant to Los Angeles, when his contract comes to an end this summer. However, the former league MVP has insisted that he’s happy with his current situation, even after those leaked reports surfaced a few months ago, about his plan to join the purple and gold from Stephen A. Smith.
Saturday, the Lakers rested the Black Mamba for the night, as they prepared for a tough western conference meeting against Russell Westbrook, Durant and company. Los Angeles would lose by 40-points, marking their sixth largest blowout defeat; but fans in attendance would see Lakers red-shirt rookie Julius Randle become a victim of some serious ball handling skills the lengthy superstar.
With Kobe Bean on the bench watching in admiration quietly, there was nothing he could do to from saving his fellow teammate from being a social media roast for the night.
