ESPN: "Report: Kobe Goes at Howard"

s2jepeka

ESPN is gettin real gully with these headlines Lmao

Prior to a shootaround in preparation for Wednesday night's game against the Memphis Grizzlies, coach Mike D'Antoni invited members of the Lakers to air their grievances, according to a team source.

Several players spoke up, including Steve Nash and Kobe Bryant, the 17-year veterans who make up the Lakers' backcourt.

Bryant asked Dwight Howard if he was bothered by playing alongside him, according to the Los Angeles Times, which first reported the meeting.

Bryant acknowledged he could be "hard to play with," according to the newspaper, and challenged Howard to speak up if he had a problem with it. Howard was "despondent" and did not offer much of a reply, according to a team source.

Wow at this:

One example of the rocky relationship between the two Western Conference All-Star starters, according to a league source, was a game this season when Howard harped to a teammate about the disparity between his and Bryant's shots while sitting on the bench. The teammate called Bryant over so Howard could tell it to Bryant's face, but the center refused to speak up.

Wouldnt be surprised if this shit was true.

Also would be surprised if Gasol was traded and/or Howard walked.

I knew this shit wouldnt work when Mike Brown was hired as a coach my suspicion was further confirmed later when Brown was fired and they didnt get much of an upgrade in D'Antoni.

With the exception of Howard they are old with weak coaching and no bench.

CopperKing

Brian shaw should've got that coaching spot

They probably shop Howard and get some draft picks or something

Co-Town Michael

Why do we have to continue to hear about this?
The Lakers suck this year and should be getting as much media coverage as any other 12-seed team.

You know what kills me about this whole situation is Kobe is rarely criticized for what he does by the media . He's been ass on the defensive end all season but some how its dwight's fault their losing. To me all of them should be held responsible including Jim Buss.

I see what yall sayin but imo its too specifc to make up something like this:

"The teammate called Bryant over so Howard could tell it to Bryant's face, but the center refused to speak up."

That teammate sounds like a real ngga, a vet, loyal to Kobe, and an overall idgaf type dude...

Exactly.

Thats that old school shyt, so these days it aint hard to pick out the 'last of a dying breed' type dudes who'd do that to a "star". Hell, half of em play for the Knicks.

Dwight Howard encapsulates every thing thats wrong in a basketball player. he's a bitchass, he doesn't play hard, he complains, he's a coach-killer....and let me mention again, is a bitchass.

Kobe respects you if you have the balls to man up and challenge him about things you think he's doing wrong...Howard just wants to throw shade behind people's back and when he gets called out on it...acts like he said nothing

Kobe gonna run duke outta town,kobe said "I tried to get dwight the ball and it threw me off rhythm".The lakers thought dwight being in a "championship culture" + L.a. would make his choice easy but this season has been a debacle and he's complaining.None of this would exist if Dwight played wit Lebron.Just makes me appreciate Lebrons game even more

Lakers will have a decision to make like summer 04 kobe or dwight + keeping d'antoni

One of them is 34 (40 in Basketball years), i think that choice is easy.

Tommy bilfiger

^I agree.The lakers will let kobe walk after the '14 season and assure dwight in private discussions that the future is his.

Kobe will either championship chase or go away

Dwight is absolutely the biggest little bitch in pro sports. Was listening to JJ Reddick on the Lebatard show and he made it pretty clear nobody on the Magic liked him, they all cheered when he left and were all behind SVG when he G checked Dwight.

Oh shyt I just thought: this ngga got Deebo'd. Like literally

"He here i'll be quiet... But when he leave...I be talkin again" ...Fukin Dwight smh

@Tommy and toheeb27 I think Kobe will walk before he championship chases or plays second fiddle at thos point in his career.

As much as I hate Kobe he has 5 titles and is easily the second best shooting
guard the league has ever seen as much as I dont like him.

Howard is phenom but I question his heart and whether he's a winner.

Rosebudd B'Dose

Yeah I been saying this... Dhoward is a bitch... cues up Common and inserts Howard's name for ALL rappers being dissed
