Nick Young recalls Kobe Bryant throwing the Lakers a stripper party at the start of the season, then leaving the team to enjoy it “Kobe was hard on you, yeah, he was. But Kobe was cool though.” “I remember at the beginning of the season, Kobe would have a party for the team to get together.” “We’d go eat first, and Kobe would be like, ‘Man, I got y’all a little something something.’” “We go upstairs, we see the strippers and stuff, and then Kobe’s like, ‘Y’all have fun,’ and leaves.” “I was like, ‘Man, thank you. That’s swag though.’” “He taught me a little bit of swag.” “I said, ‘I ain’t leaving.’”
