Kobe Bryant didn't take kindly to Oklahoma City Thunder center Serge Ibaka's flagrant foul on the Los Angeles Clippers' Blake Griffin when he watched it on television Sunday.

"I probably would have smacked him in the mouth," the Lakers star Bryant said of Ibaka's foul, when he appeared to chop Griffin below the belt.

""I would have dealt with the pain after," he added, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Bryant's comments came a day before the Lakers were scheduled to take on the Thunder Tuesday night. The NBA has not yet said whether Ibaka will be suspended for the foul. He was not ejected from the Thunder's win over the Clippers after the foul on Sunday.
