LOS ANGELES- Los Angeles Laker guard, Kobe Bryant has been having a subtle war of words with his coach, Phil Jackson. After losing a game on Monday to the Memphis Grizzlies, Jackson said:

“Kobe had to screw up the game and start energizing the team by going one-on-one. That takes the rest of the guys out and as a consequence, that didn’t bring us back in.”

Kobe Bryant had his own words for Phil Jackson, mocking his “Zen” style of coaching:

“We’ve had days off and blown teams out, so I’m not buying any of that Zen (bulls—),”
