The Lakers had assembled what seemed like a championship worthy team with Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, Steve Nash, Pau Gasol and Metta World Peace leading the charge. Things however didn’t work out and most have gone their separate ways but what was the problem? Former Laker Antawn Jamison shares his thoughts. Read more after the jump.
What Jamison never figured out, was why the relationship between Bryant and Howard never developed on the court.
“It was difficult,” he said. “I really believed before we got started that those two could co-exist. But it just didn’t work out that way. Both guys are unbelievable basketball players, the best we have in the game right now. But for whatever reason we just couldn’t get that relationship as far as them communicating and them trusting each other the way you needed them to trust each other in order for us to win a championship. It just didn’t happen that way.”
Kobe and Dwight just couldn’t co-exist and ironically many compared it to the relationship between Kobe and Shaq but they won 3 championships together before having to part ways.
