    Nah, just going for that old story's humor. You on the other hand seem interested in the furry details.

    Ahhhh man. Nooooo!! Made the mistake of going to Urban Dictionary to find out what it meant. Nooooooo!!!!

    Even mentioning me doing that should probably have a spoiler on it.

    It was mentioned in that video.

    :Laugh:

    Yeah, that’s a whole world I don’t want to know anything about. I’ll leave that to Dwight.

    obviously, Wizard's fan has no right to butt in with regard to their roster, that's the bottom line because Du-wight said so:dwightcrying:

    Not to be anal or anything, but if I were his agent, I’d be tearing him a new one. He’s getting bent over in regards to commission for such a talented player.

    ...seems a long time ago that Howard was THE Orlando Magic and one of The League's marquee players. A damn shame.

    Injuries hurt him, but so did his ego and his attitude. He worked hard, no question, or he doesn’t get as far as he did as fast as he did, but he also seemed to take winning too lightly and was never serious enough. More importantly, he never added skill to his game that it lacked, he didn’t take advantage of working with the all-time great big men he had at his disposal while on the Lakers and Rockets. You look at a player like Giannis who is also mostly athleticism and you see him working in the offseason really hard on his shot, with former players, trying to expand his game the most he possibly can. You also can look back and say ok, if he didn’t want to expand his offense he also could have taken Kobe’s advice and been a crazy good Tyson Chandler, focus on the defense and rebounding above all else and not worry about post touches. But, he didn’t want to do that either, and we see the result, he’s burned bridges with every team he’s ever been on and now he’s probably out of the league. You put his natural athleticism/body with the attitude of someone more like Kobe, and you have something so much more special, something, well, kind of like the LeBron we have seen over the last 6 years or so, adding to his game every season.

    All boxes checked... That '09 Laker squad exposed Howard as a one-dimensional player. I even went as far as saying he was a rich man's Kevin Willis. No touch, pedestrian post game. Bynum on one leg held his own against him even swatting away a couple of Howard's shots I vaguely recall. Then the Stan Van Gundy episode happened too.

    Howard felt he was more than he was besides being a defensive anchor and being THE focal point of the offense.

    Honestly Pau kind of owned Dwight in the post too. Certainly on offense, but he gave him some struggles with his defense as well.

    Here's a question: is Dwight a Hall of Famer? A lot of the twitterverse considers him one.

    Secondly, has there ever been someone of his skill level treated like the village bicycle this early in his career (and deservingly so)? It's not like he's ring chasing like Shaq was at the end. It's almost as though he's trying to check off destinations from Johnny Cash's song. He's not Superman, he's the Everywhere Man.

    Such a waste. Really liked the Orlando Dwight. He was one of my favorites. Stoked when we got him. Then the true Dwight was exposed. Would've been much happier with DJ Mbenga as our starting center with that group, at least he would've given 110% every play and we could've used our trade assets for someone who gave a damn about the game of basketball instead of a grinning bafoon.
