Kobe Curses at Refs in Serbian, French

Kobe Bryant has been sitting on 15 technical fouls -- one short of the automatic suspension -- for a week now. You'd think being forced to suddenly avoid techs would lead to Kobe stopping his practice of yelling at the referees, right? Nope. The Washington Post elucidates.

Bryant has held his tongue, walked the other way or used another, more confusing means to voice his frustrations to officials. "I just cuss them out really bad in Serbian," Bryant joked.

Bryant said he has learned how to swear in the native languages of teammates Vladimir Radmanovic (Serbia), Sasha Vujacic (Slovenia) and Ronny Turiaf (France). "I've been cursing in French. French is really cool, because everything sounds good in French."

Ah, a negative ramification from David Stern's quest of globalization. Damn Euros, making Bob Delaney's job harder.

Kobe has no competition in any most hated star polling. Ever.
