PHILADELPHIA -- Kobe Bryant was booed -- halfheartedly -- during pregame introductions Wednesday night.

But that’s nothing new.

Bryant has been booed often when he has returned to play here against the 76ers. Bryant went to Lower Merion High, which is about 30 minutes outside of the city.

Still, there were quite a few fans who wore Bryant’s jersey No. 24.

And while he was on his way to scoring 12 points in the first quarter, Bryant turned some of those into cheers.
