#BBB NEWS| Kobe Bryant Tossed Nick Young’s Shoes In The Trash Instead Of Signing Them [PHOTO]

Everybody wanted a piece of Kobe Bryant last night after he dropped 60 in the final game of his career.

But when his teammate Nick Young tried to get Kobe to sign his shoes after the game, Kobe became the savage (and Nike shill) we all love him for.

Young explained in press conference this morning:

    Reporter: Were you allowed to have fun last night? I mean, you’re real serious right now, you know … but last night, was that a fun night for you?

    Young: Yeah, it was enjoyable. Nah, I think … you know, I forgot about everything that was going on. I think the feeling was like we won a championship. They had the champagne bottles after. But yeah, it was great. The confetti, the five-minute intro he had, Kobe signing autographs — We was all in line like we was fans, you know, in the locker room — the fact that he threw my Adidas and didn’t sign my Adidas, I was a little disappointed in that. But … he could not end without something like that, so … I think he threw my shoes in the trash, but yeah, that’s Kobe for you.

#BBB NEWS| Kanye West Lands At #1 On Billboard 200 & TWENTY88 (Big Sean & Jhene Aiko) At #5

anye West’s The Life of Pablo was released in February, but it was only available via TIDAL. Initially, its sales and streams through the service were not reported to Nielsen Music, and it was thus unable to chart on Billboard.

On April 1, the album became available to other streaming services, and went on sale via his website and TIDAL. The streams and sales were finally reported to Nielsen, enabling its arrival on the charts – two months after its initial release.

Selling 94k units this week, TLOP tops the charts of the Billboard 200, becoming the first album ever to top the chart with the majority of its units being generated by streaming equivalent albums. (Only 28k of that number were through traditional sales.) Looks like there really was a method to his madness, huh? Congrats, Ye!

After co-host and fellow Philadelphian Kevin Hart introduced him followed by medley of his famous songs by The Lonely Island, Smith hugged and kissed his sons Trey and Jaden as he made his way to the stage to accept his golden popcorn.

“This is funny, because I was in Brooklyn the other day shooting and these women came out. They’re like 35, 40 years old and they’re screaming ‘Oh my God! Will! Will! Will!’ and I was like c’mon, you want to do a little Snapchat or something,” Smith said. “And they’re screaming, and then there’s this one kid and he’s like 8-years-old and he’s wrapped up and he’s all like ‘Oh my God! Oh my God! I don’t know who you are. I don’t know who you are.’ and I was like ah man. So I leaned down to him and said ‘I’m the Karate Kid’s dad’ then he’s like ‘Oh, that’s Jaden’s dad. That’s Jaden’s dad. So this is coming at the right time for me.”
