Kobe Bryant to Michael Wilbon on his relationship with Dwight: "It's not like we're best friends ..."

“We get along in the sense that we understand each other," Bryant told Wilbon prior to ABC/ESPN's broadcast of Lakers-Bulls on Sunday. "We know what our responsibilities are to the team. Yeah, absolutely. If you ask Dwight, or you ask myself, we don’t dislike each other at all. It’s not like when Shaq and I were feuding. We didn’t want to be around each other. For me and Dwight, that’s just not the situation. It’s not like we’re best friends either. It’s a good understanding, I think.”
