Kobe Bryant didn’t get a chance to play tonight against the Dallas Mavericks, As it would had been the 50th game Dirk Nowitzki and Bryant met in their hall of fame careers.
But Bryant watched Nowitzki drain a game winner over forward Julius Randle with 2.1 seconds remaining. As the Mavericks went on to win 92-90 over the Los Angeles Lakers.
Bryant showed Nowitzki some respect with an old-fashioned tap on the butt. Watch below:
