Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Kobe Bryant’s passion for the game is one of the reasons he’s such a great leader.

If someone steps out of line or makes a bad play, Kobe is the first to let them know about it. He holds his teammates to a high standard and gets the most out of them.

The Lakers squared off against the Celtics on Wednesday night, and Kobe gave an “inspirational” speech to motivate his teammates during the game.

“Come on mother————ers, I believe in you!” he said.

The Lakers won the game 112-104, and that riveting speech must have been the reason why.
