The Los Angeles Lakers are having one of their worst seasons in recent memory, but they are leading the NBA in one category -- drama.

The New York Daily News recently reported that Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard almost came to blows following the Lakers New Year's Day loss to Philadelphia.

New Twitter user Kobe took to his keyboard to make a joke out of the story on Monday by posting a photo of himself and Dwight squaring off with coach Mike D'Antoni reclining on a training table between the two trying to keep the peace. Kobe captioned the photo, "The mamba vs d12!! It's on lol."

But in reality, there's nothing to laugh about in Laker-land. Howard and fellow big man Pau Gasol and both sidelined with injuries suffered in Sunday's game and the Lakers are two games below .500 and need to right the ship fast if they want to make the playoffs.
