Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, Kevin Durant and on-court NBA beef. A play in three acts.
Kobe ‘doesn’t feel that way’ about Dwight Howard
The Lakers star doesn’t agree with Kevin Durant’s assessment of his former teammate. And he doesn’t think KD feels that way, either.

Lotta chirping between Thunder and Rockets right now. Kevin Durant repeatedly to Dwight Howard: "You're a pussy"

“No, I don’t feel that [Dwight is a p---y],” Bryant said. “And I don’t think Kevin does either. At moments of confrontation during a game you’ll say things in the heat of the moment. I know Dwight. I’m sure Kevin does. We don’t feel that way about him.
”You get in an argument with somebody, you’ll say things out of frustration, out of anger that you really don’t mean. It’s a heat of the battle, heat of the moment.
“You (media) guys have all been in arguments, guys that are married. Sometimes you say things that you want to take back, that you don’t really mean. But it’s in the heat of confrontation.”
