When an athlete dislocates a finger, sometimes the easiest thing to do is just pop it back into the socket, unpleasant as it may be.
Two Los Angeles Lakers legends, Kobe Bryant and longtime trainer Gary Vitti, employed this tactic Friday night, and one fan wishes she'd been looking the other way.
Bryant underwent an X-ray after the game on the dislocated middle finger, and the results came back negative.
Byron Scott called Kobe Bryant "a tough hombre."
