Part of what makes Kobe Bryant so great is that he truly doesn’t care about what you think of him. He’s interested in winning first, making friends a distant second. He’d like to see some of that same behavior out of Dwight Howard.
Magic was like that. You saw Magic barking at guys. He was the point guard, the general, so you saw him yelling instructions a lot. And he’s extremely competitive. But he still played the game with a smile on his face.’ Just like Shaquille O’Neal, right? ‘No. They’re different,’ Bryant said. ‘Shaq was a goofball. But Shaq was a big a——. I was a little a——. It worked well. Dwight has a lot of that in him. He just needs to bring it out and make guys pay every single day.’
