But underneath such alpha male traits lies a player with plenty of insecurities, according to former Lakers coach Phil Jackson. Namely, that Bryant doesn’t always take kindly to criticism.
“He’s very sensitive,” Jackson said Wednesday to ESPN Radio’s Colin Cowherd. “I had to be really careful in criticizing him. I learned immediately as I started to deal with him as a young man how sensitive he was in particular if it was done in a group setting. My criticism was best done if it was in my office or alone.”

It's not as bad as people are making it out to be
Twitter sensationalism at best
Surprised Windhorst or someone isn't coming out to clarify, prob cause it's Twitter drama lol and not an espn piece
This topic not necessary btw, BUT him mentioning Love wasn't the best idea. Should have just went with the flow of questions.

You honestly think that's what happened? C'mon man.

Based on the quotes in the other thread, yes.

Yeah bro, a fist full of rings will give you that credo. Being a rookie coach won't.

People who reply as such crack me up.
Anyway, on the way to work the local sports guys were talking with Sam Amico...who I'm wishy washy on for sure. But he said something that peaked my interest. Blatt apparently didn't address the team after last nights loss. He simply walked out.

I hate to be "that guy," but you mean piqued. Peak is, most often, a noun, as in the top of a mountain or the highest level.
"When I peeked at the Cavalier's box scores my interest was piqued, because it seems as if the Cavs peaked in early December."

I think it's pretty clear he was unaware that Love is already earning the max (well, the max when he was extended).
Shameful clickbait.
