Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant is back in action for his team, and he's showing the rookies he's still got it.

During practice on Thursday, Bryant hit this shot over Lakers rookie Jordan Clarkson. After making the basket, Bryant told Clarkson, "Don't hurt yourself."

Later when talking to the media, Kobe discussed why he talks trash during practice.
