Kobe Bryant jokes shoulder injury due to too much passing

Maybe Byron Scott knew what he was doing, after all.

The Lakers coach encouraged Kobe to shoot more. Instead, Kobe dished a career-high 17 assists.

Then, Kobe tore his rotator cuff.

Coincidence?

Kobe on Twitter:

This is what happens when I pass too much! #ShoulderShock thank u all for ur thoughts and prayers

Someone warn Nick Young before it’s too late!
