I give Kobe huge props for still motivating Dwight instead of just giving up on him and mentally crushing him for being such a *****. Mature Kobe is the best.
Shaq did the same thing to Kobe, they hated each other. What did Kobe do? He ran to Jim Gray and talked sh*t about Shaq on television/media.
Now the shoe is on the other foot, Kobe wants to push Dwight's buttons and make him more fierce. Imagine if Dwight ran to the cameras and talked sh*t about Kobe chucking 20+ shots a game? Laker stans would be livid. Hypocrisy at it's finest.
