We’re so glad you’re back @NBA
Last night, the NBA celebrated the very anti-climactic return of it’s regular season with one nail-biter, and two snoozers, but the hilarious-almost-physical altercation between Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard made it all worth the while. With 7 minutes left in a game Kobe Bryant and his teammates will work hard to forget, Kobe Bryant was playing tight defense on his former teammate, Dwight Howard, following a Howard rebound when he caught an elbow to the face that probably hurt a lot more than Kobe let on.
The two of them exchanged words and quickly had to be separated by their respective teammates, but that didn’t stop them from throwing insults at each other. In the above video clip, you can clearly see Dwight Howard yell at Kobe, “I know you, dog,” repetitively, and Kobe responds with repetitively taunting, “try me”.
Once the players were separated and the situation calmed down on the court, Kobe decided to toss one last insult at Dwight: “soft”.
Kobe apparently took it a step further, in this vine you can see Kobe seemingly call Dwight a “Bitch Ass Ni**a”
Considering that two seasons ago, Kobe and Dwight were embarking on a championship quest together, all we can do is laugh while watching this.
