Howard just doesn't have the fire or the competiveness that a Kobe or a Jordan or even a Pierce have, but that is his personality, do i like that in a player? no. but he is who he is if he would have stayed in Orlando we would not be talking about him because in Orlando he was accepted for how he is, but when he signed with the Lakers he was supposed to be that missing piece to bring the title back to LA. And i just don't think he reacts to pressure very well. As to him not caring or trying, come on i will not even respond to that.
