"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Five-time All-Star and current TNT analyst Reggie Miller said Los Angeles&amp;nbsp;Lakers guard Kobe Bryant \"needs to stop being so sensitive\" about player rankings done by the media.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Earlier this month, Bryant responded to being ranked No. 40 by ESPN by saying \"I've known for a long time that they're a bunch of idiots.\"\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;During Tuesday night's game between the Lakers and Houston Rockets, Miller called out Bryant for his approach to the rankings.\r\n\r\n\"Kobe needs to stop being so sensitive, too. I mean, because you're ranked&amp;nbsp;40th, dude you are 36-year-old and&amp;nbsp;19th&amp;nbsp;NBA season. Father time is still undefeated. Why would he be any different. He needs to stop being so sensitive to what other people say about him.\"\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022&amp;nbsp;GOLLIVER: Lakers' Randle suffers broken right leg in NBA debut\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bryant scored 19 points on 6-for-17 shooting in Tuesday's season opening loss to the Rockets. It marked his first game since December 2013 as he returns from a fractured knee.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He received a technical foul in the fourth quarter after being elbowed in the face by Rockets center Dwight Howard. Bryant appeared to dare Howard to \"try me\" before calling him \"soft.\"\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022&amp;nbsp;DEITSCH: Charles Barkley on his rift with Michael Jordan\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;[YouTube: Ben Golliver]\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
