Jamison: Kobe Bryant-Dwight Howard friction was bad

He called last season a waste of time, personally and, just in case it had not been obvious to the world long ago, for all the Lakers. It was, Antawn Jamison said, much more tension between Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard than previously acknowledged.

“It was bad,” Jamison told Friday night at Sleep Train Arena, where the Clippers played the Kings.

“The writing’s on the wall,” Jamison said. “Whatever you say happened between the coaching staff, Kobe and Dwight – it was a combination of everything. Not understanding roles. Not being up front with roles. Our two superstars didn’t get along."
