Dwight Howard spent a lot of time yesterday interacting with fans on Twitter, which was pretty cool, especially considering how willing he was to discuss any topic.
Beyond trading insults with a 16-year-old, the Hornets center also reflected on his time with Kobe Bryant and the Lakers:
we didn't beef. Since we were losing they needed a story that would sell

I don’t know, that’s not how I remember it.
But Howard is image-conscious, and the popular Kobe is not a good enemy. Plus, time heals all wounds.
I’m not convinced there was never a beef. But I remain convinced Howard wants to put it behind him.
