Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard's jawing match during the Houston Rockets vs. Los Angeles Lakers season opener, spawned loads of reactions from fans on Twitter, however, none were as epic and entertaining as Slim Thug's.

The fellow Houston native didn't take Kobe calling Dwight "soft" too kindly, and lashed out on Twitter.  Slim Thug had absolutely no chill nor restraint when dishing out his thoughts on the level of respect that he believes the Black Mamba deserves when he's off the court.  Thug called Kobe a snitch, and trolled his name by changing it to "Hobe," among other things.

When devout Lakers fans started barking back at Slim in Kobe's stead, Thug was ready and willing to fire back in full verbal force against anyone who tried to throw shots at him.  In the end, Slim Thug clarified that he doesn't wish for anything negative to happen to Kobe, but only that he hopes to see him lose on the court.  Thug also praised Dwight for his double-double in the Rockets' second straight win at the start of the season, putting them at 2-0 following their victory over the Lakers in their first game.
