On a recent appearance on Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson’s “All The Smoke” podcast, Jalen Rose shared a great Kobe Bryant story detailing his reaction to the Dwight Howard trade in 2012. According to Rose, Kobe took a call from Dwight when he found out the trade was happening, then turned back to him and proclaimed “this s--- ain’t gonna work” to Rose once the call ended.
It’s a great story and sounds exactly like something Kobe would do.
Except it didn’t happen. At least not the way Rose tells it.
Jalen was at a camp Kobe Bryant had in 2012, the summer Dwight was traded.
