3. Kobe Dunks All Over Dwight Howard (11/12/2004)
Before Kobe and Dwight Howard had their issues as teammates in Los Angeles, Howard was a rookie with the Orlando Magic. He made the ultimate mistake of trying to step up to Kobe when Bryant was at still at least near the heights of his athletic prowess. The result was Kobe dunking all over Dwight.
While that may not seem too impressive, you have to remember that Howard came into the league as such a dominant physical force that the thought of anyone challenging him and winning seemed far-fetched. Yet, the Mamba showed no fear as he always has over the course of his career and showed Howard who the sheriff in the NBA actually was.
