Kobe Immediately Congratulated Dirk Nowitzki on Beating the Lakers

Dirk Nowitzki hit the game-winner with 2.1-seconds remaining to lift the Dallas Mavericks over the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night. Dirk had just 13 points, but this fadeaway was enough to earn a congratulatory pat on the backside from fellow old basketball player, Kobe Byrant. Kobe took the night off and let the Lakers’ youngins lose without him for once. The Lakers now trail the Philadelphia 76ers by 1.5 games for the worst record in the NBA.
