Dwight Howard and Kobe Bryant haven't exactly gotten along in the past. But now that Howard has redeemed himself during his second stint with the Lakers, he's trying to extend an olive branch to his former adversary.
"If I can get all the Laker fans to lobby to get Kobe to help me in the dunk contest, that'd be really good," Howard told reporters on Wednesday. "That'd be awesome."
Howard is the only confirmed participant in the 2020 dunk contest thus far. But he's already began fairly extensive preparations for the festivities on Feb. 15.
