Dwight Howard and Kobe Bryant - Do They Fit Well as Lakers

Dwight Howard is arguably the most dominant center in the league.  Kobe Bryant is an undeniable legend in the game and top five player in the NBA today.  This incredible alignment of two NBA superstars should be a no-brainer.  Still, knowing the past of these two players, will Dwight Howard and Kobe Bryant fit will together, is not a crazy question.  Let’s get into why this is even an issue.

Dwight Howard and Kobe Bryant Do They Fit Well

Dwight Howard was originally from the Orlando Magic.  While he was on the team there was much controversy.  At times it seemed like he wanted to be a part of the Orlando Magic organization, and there were times he didn’t.  Dwight Howard complained he didn’t get enough touches (in Orlando).  His issues with his coach was becoming a problem as well, and the whole Dwight Howard versus Orlando Magic became a big mess!

Kobe Bryant has been with the Los Angeles Lakers for years.  He has five NBA Championship rings.  Still, it’s been said he didn’t get those rings as the most dominant player.  Some say Shaq was the man at the time Kobe started getting rings, and later in the years it’s been said Gasol got him rings.  People give Kobe credit for maybe one or two of his titles.  This is important because Kobe Bryant is often compared to Michael Jordan, and Michael Jordan was the undisputed leader of all six of his championship rings.

NBA Fans Want to Know - Dwight Howard and Kobe Bryant Do They Fit Well Together

Kobe Bryant still has much to prove in the NBA but with limited time.  Dwight Howard has to prove he has matured after the whole Orlando Magic situation.  Still, personally I don’t think Kobe and Dwight will be a good mixture in the future for the same reasons Shaq and Kobe fell apart…EGO.

Kobe has an ego out of this world, and don’t think Dwight will be able to handle it.  I think Kobe put on a front the first few games him and Howard played like he really cared about him fitting in.  I say give it some time and Kobe will try to take over the team and be the main contributor (as he’s done the last few games). As of now they stand 1 and 4 (1-13 if you include the preseason) and they don’t look good.  The only way I feel The Lakers will get some more rings is if Kobe let’s go of his ego and let the young boy Howard become the main guy as Wade did in Miami for James. Other than that, I really don’t see Kobe doing that anytime soon because he is the “Mamba” with the Kobe-System.
