Despite it instantly becoming one of the top moments in Yankees playoff history, Kobe Bryant does not seem too happy about how Game 3 ended with Alex Rodriguez on the bench, saying it isn't good for team chemistry
Bryant, one of sports' top stars and owner of five championship rings with the Lakers, is reportedly a big Yankees fan and close friends with Rodriguez. But ESPNLA.com's Arash Markazi was interviewing Bryant after the Yankees game Wednesday night, and when told of how the game ended, Bryant "didn't crack a smile."
Very few seem to disagree with Joe Girardi's decision to pull Rodriguez in the ninth inning; Bryant seems to be one of those few.
"I don't like that," Bryant said, according to Markazi. "That's not good for the chemistry of the team. I'm going to have to call A-Rod."
Kobe on the Yankees finish: "I don't like that. That's not good for the chemistry of the team. I'm going to have to call A-Rod."

Kobe, a Yankee fan, didn't crack a smile when told of the Yankees finish tonight. He considers A-Rod a good friend.

Didn't know Kobe Bryant was a Yankee fan. So much for his "Philadelphia" roots. At least Melo isn't covering up his B'More roots and openly said he's rooting for the Orioles. Kobe saying stupid illogical shyt isn't shocking. He's the biggest prick in NBA history outside of "His Airness" Apparently when it comes to his boy A-Rod, douchebags of a feather flock together.
