They're not Harry and Sally, but it will do: The ATP's No. 1 player, Novak Djokovic, got chummy with the Los Angeles Lakers' superstar Kobe Bryant before L.A.'s Sunday night game against the Atlanta Hawks (won by the home team). Their meeting was dubbed "When Nole Met Kobe" on the ATP's official Instagram account. Djokovic was also pictured with new pals Dwight Howard and Antawn Jamison. Howard, for his part, appears to be flexing a la Djokovic after a couple Australian Open victories in recent years.
