Kobe Bryant supports Pau Gasol's rant at teammates

Kobe Bryant wasn't smiling when an angry Pau Gasol went wild in the Lakers' locker room a few nights ago. Nobody was.

But Bryant revealed Sunday that he supported Gasol's post-game rant after the Lakers lost to the woeful Orlando Magic on Friday. Gasol lit into teammates and hurled his basketball shoes in the locker room that night.

"That was the most irritated I've seen Pau in a long, long time," Bryant said. "I haven't really seen him come in and have a tantrum in the locker room, which is good. It's something that needs to be done."
