Dwight Howard of Los Angeles Lakers rededicates self, with assist to Kobe Bryant - ESPN Los Angeles
"It's going to make me a better man and a better player from watching Kobe," Howard said
Howard said he and Bryant always have had a good relationship, but it's deepened this season, particularly since the All-Star break.
"I told him [Bryant]: 'I'm afraid to miss. When I get out there, I don't want to miss, and I end up missing.' And he was like: 'You know what? Shoot 1,000 jumpshots a day. You're going to miss a lot of those shots. But that's OK. Because you're teaching yourself it's OK to miss.'
"Now I see it. He gets out there and he might miss a couple 3s, but then he'll make nine in a row. You see that and it just kind of gives you more inspiration."
"I just thought about what we're trying to accomplish as a team and I really want to win a championship. That's the reason why I'm in LA."
