Chris Duhon played his final year in the NBA with Kobe Bryant and the LA Lakers. The Lakers acquired him in a four-team trade that saw Dwight Howard land in Hollywood. Duhon retired following the 2012-13 season.

On the “KarterKast” podcast, the former NBA player shared a never-before-heard Bryant story regarding a $5000 bet, which Bryant won. Duhon said:

“When you get on the plane, you can get the sheets from all the scores and stats from everyone that’s played on that day. We’re kind of going through it and I was sitting next to him at that time. He was like, ‘LeBron (James) gets another triple-double.’
