Kobe Bryant remains the face of the Los Angeles Lakers despite their many moves in recent years to both acquire and send off All-Stars, and he'll continue to embrace this role until he retires. Following a wild week for news that included Steve Nash coming to the Lakers and Dwight Howard rumors going left and right as always, Bryant went on SportsCenter and discussed a wide range of topics.
The first thing Bryant talked about was Howard and what he hopes happens for the big man.
