Report: Dwight Howard will consider multiple teams in free agency, is said to be most intrigued by the Rockets
We already know what we’re in for in terms of the steady stream of
reports and rumors that will flood us leading up to the free agent
decision of Dwight Howard
this summer. It even has a nickname, and although he’s technically not
a free agent for another six weeks or so, the Dwightmare has already
begun.
It was reported earlier that Howard would indeed be speaking to other teams besides the Lakers during free agency, and that he would take his time in exploring all options.

Kobe Bryant responds to Michael Jordan comparison from Phil Jackson
Phil Jackson has a new book coming out, so he will be spending plenty
of time talking it up at various media outlets in the coming weeks. The
tour has begun in earnest, and the juiciest quotes from the book are beginning to be released.
If there’s one subject Jackson can speak on with absolute authority, it’s the comparison between Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant — two of the game’s all-time greats that were catalysts for the Hall of Fame coach in winning all five of his Eleven Rings.

Kobe Bryant Told Michael Jordan He Could Kick His Ass One on One
In
his new book “Eleven Rings: The Soul of Success”, Phil Jackson tells a
great story from a meeting he helped arrange between Michael Jordan and
Kobe Bryant during the 1999-2000 season. Kobe, who we know thinks quite
highly of his own abilities, told MJ (who had retired from the NBA for a
second time) that he could take him one-on-one when they saw each other
in Chicago that year.

Phil Jackson compares how Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant treated teammates
One thing that made Michael Jordan so great was his ability to make
his teammates better. Like all superstars, Jordan attracted attention on
the court, and that gave the Bulls’ other players room to operate. But
unlike, say, Magic Johnson, Jordan didn’t necessarily excel at setting
up those open teammates, at least relative to his other elite skills.
Rather, Jordan required his teammates to match his incredibly intense drive.

the Lakers' season came to a disappointing end, the brunt of the blame
