Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard have some history. The two were on opposite sides in the 2009 NBA Finals, which the Lakers won in five games. Howard would eventually join the Lakers in 2012, but his relationship with Bryant was tumultuous. Howard left LA after that season and that move is just one in a series that have the Lakers facing their worst season ever. Now the pair will meet for the final time when the Los Angeles Lakers face the Houston Rockets in Houston.
Bryant will play and his interactions with Howard and James Harden should be interesting to watch.
