What chemistry issues?

The comedy that is the Lakers’ 2012-13 season kicked up a notch recently when the New York Daily News reported that Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard were involved in a “heated exchange” following the team’s loss to the Knicks on New Year’s Day. But while the news led to further speculation that the Lakers are a team in disarray, a photo tweeted out by Bryant on Monday suggests everyone’s analysis might be a little overblown.

Bryant tweeted a photo of him and Howard standing in a fighting pose with a smiling Mike D’Antoni in the background. The caption even makes light of the situation, leading us all to believe that the duo has buried the hatchet. Whether that’s true or not, we may never know. But if Bryant and Howard really do hate each other, as many suggest, they certainly do a great job of hiding it.
