Nick Young Tells Story Of Kobe Bryant Breaking His Thumb

In honor of Nick Young’s birthday, let’s throw it back to when he made an appearance on The Undefeated’s ‘Certified Buckets’ podcast, he told one of the ‘most Kobe’ Kobe stories ever.

Bryant once accidentally broke Nick Young’s thumb during practice, but didn’t believe he actually was hurt. Kobe thought Young was faking it, trying to sit out practice and started passing the ball to him extra hard.

“During the whole practice Kobe didn’t believe me. He thought I was trying to sit out. He was hitting my hand, throwing the ball, passing the ball extra hard. I’m like, ‘Dog, my finger broke for real! Listen to ’em! They telling you it could be broke!’ He said, ‘Nah, you faking. You don’t want to practice.’”
