Lakers vs Rockets Preview: The Most Awkward Goodbye

For the last time in his illustrious career, Kobe Bryant will take the floor at the Toyota Center on Sunday afternoon for one final matchup against the Houston Rockets. Not only does that mean Los Angeles Lakers fans and peers getting one step closer to a final goodbye to Kobe, but it also means that one of the most hilariously awkward moments of the Kobe Farewell Tour is set to happen.

As Bryant says goodbye to Houston and the Rockets, the 20-year veteran will also say goodbye to Rockets center Dwight Howard. Lakers fans may or may not have heard, but those two guys didn’t exactly see eye-to-eye during Dwight’s brief tenure with the Lakers.
