The Day Kobe Broke Jeremy Lin.

The notorious “Soft as Charmin” Lakers practice on December 11, 2014 has gone down as one of the most infamous moments in NBA history—when Kobe Bryant pushed his teammates to the edge and ultimately broke Jeremy Lin in front of the squad. What started as Kobe demanding toughness quickly became a legendary story of intensity, competitiveness, and Mamba Mentality. Former Lakers like Nick Young, Julius Randle, and Jeremy Lin himself have since shared their memories of that day, each adding their own perspective to the chaos. The Lakers briefly bounced back with two straight wins, but soon after collapsed with seven consecutive losses—finishing the season with the worst record in franchise history. This video dives into the raw practice footage, player recollections, and the legacy of that unforgettable practice. Rest in peace to the legend, Kobe Bryant.
