If choosing to unfollow Dwight Howard on Twitter in the immediate aftermath of the center's decision to leave the Los Angeles Lakers wasn't sign enough of Kobe Bryant's indifference toward his former teammate, his first public comments on Howard's choice made it perfectly clear. "I haven't followed enough to hear what he's kind of said about going to Houston and some of the reasons why he went to Houston," Bryant said Wednesday at his annual youth basketball academy on the campus of University of California, Santa Barbara. "I don't know. I don't. You look at me, you really think once a guy decides to go someplace else, I'm going to waste my time trying to figure out why that happened?" It was more of a shrug than a silver-tongued reaction from Bryant. If Howard wanted to be a Rocket, so be it. "I'm happy for him," Bryant said, without a hint of his usual sarcasm. "I've said that before. I'm happy for him. It's important for free agents to make decisions that they feel is best for them. That's really what it's about, being a free agent. You have to make decisions that you feel is best for you, best for your family and best for your brand, whatever it may be. So, it is what it is." Source: ESPN LA
