Kobe Bryant has been getting a bad rap for years for being incredibly hard on his teammates. Meanwhile, mustache-sporting, short shorts-wearing LeBron James is just flying under the radar. During last night's game against the New York Knicks, a visibly frustrated James can be heard asking his teammates if they "want to play" early in the third quarter. Okay, that was the G-rated version.

Earmuffs, kids!

The challenge by LeBron worked because the Cavaliers were able to chip away at the Knicks' lead before pulling ahead and securing the 90-84 victory in Madison Square Garden.
