Howard is not a real serious player all he does is laugh hahaha joke around with basketball he doesn't deserve to play with serious players like Kobe he should get his butt in Charlotte.

After last nights game, and Kobe being quoted along the lines of, "When we lose by 20 or 30, we have no right to be joking around" is still calling Howard out. Kobe is pretty fed up.

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

I agree 100%. People forget that, when it comes down to it, hes a grown man playing a game for a living. He should be having fun. And, even now, their is now center in the league better than him. I get how Kobe is, and thats what makes him great, but hes gotta understand that not everyone is gonna take the same approach he does. I dont think Howard likes losing, he just doesnt let it bother him outwardly the way Kobe does.

I will say that Howard did the Magic dirty. Orlando and Stan Van Gundy didnt deserve to be treated that way. But the comment quoted above is just ridiculous.

People do not forget that, when it comes down to it, he's getting paid millions of dollars playing a game for a living. If he's screwing around while doing it, he doesn't deserve it.

Joe Blow down the street busting his ass for $10/hr has a problem with it I'm sure.

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

You dont just walk into the NBA and put up 20 and 10 every night without working at it. Just because he enjoys the fact that hes getting paid millions of dollars to play a game doesn't mean hes screwing around. If Joe Blow were getting paid 10 million dollars to paint that house, he might have some fun with it too. I have never seen Dwight Howard not play his hardest, or quit on his team ever. You want to talk about someone screwing around, talk about Pau, who seems to stop caring for weeks at a time.

Have you been watching the same games I've been this year?

There's a difference between having fun and winning, and having fun during/after/before huge losses when expectations are high.

If I had a teammate doing this on a regular basis, I'd be smacking them upside the head.

I'm actually fond of Dwight Howard, his size, his potential... but definitely not his attitude. He does not have the killer instinct it takes to go to the next level in the NBA.

I mentioned this in another thread, but Dwight Howard has averaged almost exactly his career averages in FG%, blocks, TOs, and steals. Hes averaging 2 less ppg, which is directly attributable to one less shot per game. I'm not sure what Lakers fans expected, but they are getting what they signed, which is efficient, but not dominant offensive play, rebounds, and stellar defense.
