The Los Angeles Lakers hosted the now Rudy Gay-less Toronto Raptors Sunday night at Staples Center — a game highlighted by the return of Kobe Bryant. The man who has been Kobe’s replacement so far this season, Nick Young, clearly wasn’t quite ready to hand the spotlight back to the Black Mamba, as evidenced by this ill-advised drive to the bucket midway through the fourth quarter. We’re not sure what Swaggy P’s plan was (knowing him, there probably wasn’t much of one), but regardless of intent, the wild miss definitely didn’t help the Lakers’ cause, as they eventually lost 106-94.
