Kobe and Dwight (and Kobe's wife, Vanessa) get some potential bonding time later tonight via private jet ...

to Houston for All-Star weekend. Vanessa is expected to be on board, so not I'm not too sure Kobe wouldn't rather talk to her during the flight than Dwight. Kobe did use the All-Star weekend in Orlando last season to bond with Andrew Bynum, who was making his first All-Star appearance. Kobe said late last season about that: "The All-Star break was really when our bond cemented itself," Bryant said. "Even though we were around so many of our other peers, it was just he and I. We were always around each other and we really didn't care what the other guys were doing. "It was really about us and being in constant communication: 'What are you doing? Let's go out. Let's hang out. Let's grab some dinner.' From that point on, we've always had this chemistry."
