When Dwight Howard briefly played with Kobe Bryant on the Lakers, the two became bitter rivals. Forced to play with each other, they constantly fought. The feud reached the next level when Howard left the Lakers to join the Houston Rockets.

On opening night the next season the pair were finally able to settle their differences. They got into a “dust-up” with Kobe yelling, “try me!” He followed up by calling Howard “soft.” After the battle Kobe brushed it off, saying, “I don’t know when the NBA became so sensitive. It’s all part of it.” Next, Kobe and Shaq is a feud you don’t want to miss!
