Relations between Kobe Bryant and his Lakers teammate Dwight Howard were beyond icy during the weekend’s All-Star game in Houston — with Howard mocking Bryant behind his back in the locker room, sources exclusively tell Page Six. Amid other reports that the Lakers’ chilly on-court chemistry was spilling into the locker room, we’re told that Howard “grabbed Kobe’s uniform, put it on, and imitated him in front of all the other players on the West team. He was joking and berating Kobe” to fellow NBA stars, including the Clippers’ Chris Paul and Blake Griffin and Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant.


quote:

The source added Bryant later arrived in the locker room, “said hello to everyone on the team except Howard, grabbed his stuff and moved as far away from Howard as he could.”


quote:

Despite a recent clear-the-air meeting in Memphis, relations haven’t thawed. At the game, Bryant said, “It doesn’t matter” what his team does with Howard as the trade deadline approaches. Reps for Bryant and Howard didn’t get back to us last night.

As the Lakers' turn...

I love watching this train wreck. It's better than the one the NY Jets had this past season.

Dwight Howard shouldn't even be making fun of Brian Scalabrine at this current time...

Dwight just needs to embrace how hated he is and go full-blown heel. Maybe pull an Artest and go after someone in the crowd.

Sure they don't get along but that sounds like Page 6 BS to me.

Truth.

What an absolute disastrous turn for his career/public perception in less than 2 years time. He's basically entered into pure bitch territory.

Not so fast my friend.

It’s worth noting that imitating Bryant is one of Howard’s go-to gimmicks. The Los Angeles Daily News reported back in August, shortly after the Lakers traded for him, that Howard imitated Bryant in front of reporters.

After the news broke Thursday, Howard’s phone rang. A familiar voice was on the line.

“Wassup, Dwight, how you doing?” Howard said, imitating new teammate Bryant’s deep growl as reporters began to laugh in recognition. “Yo, yo, yo, L.A. is happy to have you, you know. I’m happy for you.”

This has some Kobe/Shaq-feud implications (if Howard lasts in LA), only this time Kobe is the vet who the public sympathizes with.

That's not even close to the same thing.

I am praying that Dwight does not get traded. I want those two in the same locker room when they fall out of the playoff race.

Except the imitation we know about is Dwight doing it at a press conference for everybody to see not behind his back. It also wasn't close to berating which is what they're describing this new incident as. I could see him doing it but it would be the same cheesy shite Dwight always does.

I wish I were a basketball fan, so I could enjoy this dumpster fire as much as everyone else.
