Kobe Bryant isn’t playing basketball any more, but that isn’t stopping him from taking a shot at the two-time defending NBA champions.
Bryant put bandwagon Warriors fans on blast during a Lakers All-Access event Monday, in which he arrived via helicopter.

“We’ll be champions again before you know it,” Bryant said of the Lakers via Kyle Goon. “And we’ll be laughing in the faces of all those Warriors fans who came out of nowhere.”
Though the Lakers are likely to make it back to the Finals at some point, it’s hard to imagine that happening as long as Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and Kevin Durant are still suiting up for Golden State. The Lakers have made a significant improvement this year after acquiring LeBron James, however, and currently sit in fifth place in the Western Conference through 23 games.
The Lakers haven’t made the playoffs since 2013.
