Dwightmare lives on in LA!

[Optimus_Steel]

Finding a way for a HOF coach to yell at you and bench you during the meaningless all star game is pretty damm impressive. Dwight keeps reaching milestones. He just finds new ways to top himself when it looks like its impossible.

Man, that is too funny. Why the heck would the lakers even want that guy? He is a loser.

[JT3000]

SAS says there is a 25% chance Dwight is traded.

He also has a .25% chance of being accurate (as always.)

Unbelievable. Dwight just keeps making it easier and easier to be a scorned Magic fan.

My worst nightmare was that Dwight would have a career year, destroy the Magic the way LeBron did the Cavaliers in their reunion, and cruise to the Playoffs (and eventually, an NBA championship). So far, none of that has happened. He is nowhere close to turning those fears into a reality.

The best part of this experience for Dwight in trying to force success is that it didn't happen. Because, if it did like in Miami, then players like Durant would probably would be more inclined to move also.

LA media is killing him, go listen to espnla podcasts, they're starting to compare him to Arod. having fun now dwight?

Themis (Greece) Given that Kobe and Howard do not like eachother, Why do not the Lakers trade Kobe and keep the younger Howard and build for the future. The could still get a lot for Kobe even though he is 34. Chad Ford (1:41 PM) One, Kobe has a no trade clause, so they can't just ship him anywhere. Two, Kobe is very popular in LA. Dwight is not. It would be a very hard sell to fans. However, with that said, I've heard rumblings that if Howard told Laker officials this summer that the only way he'd stay in LA is if Kobe leaves, the Lakers could end up choosing Howard over Kobe. It's an unlikely scenario, but one worth watching. ESPN.com

Unbelievable . . .

Stephen A. Smith on ESPN radio: Then this past weekend, at All-Star weekend – I haven’t’ seen anyone report it, so I guess I’ll be the first. Coach Gregg Popovich dropped a few f-bombs in Dwight Howard’s direction, during All-Star break. Now why is that guys? Because during the timeout, Gregg Popvich drew up a play for Dwight Howard, in the game… except when it was time to run the play, Dwight Howard wasn’t in the game, wasn’t paying attention, was on the bench in his warm ups chillin out socializing with folks, and Gregg Popvich almost went ballistic, and basically was cussing at him according to numerous people I spoke to since this weekend. So, all of that speaks to the focus, or lack there of, that the Kobe Bryant’s and others have alluded to with their comments over the last few months. You can’t have something like that. It’s an All-Star game and you have Gregg Popovich upset at you. beyondthebuzzer.com

Kobe Bryant on the idea that Dwight Howard doesn’t like this offense much: “Well, I don’t like passing as much as I’m passing either but I have to do it in order to win. We just do what we do to help each other win ball games, even if you prefer to do something else. At this point it really doesn’t matter, it’s just about helping us be successful and he’s great, he could be absolutely great and obviously Steve, we know how fantastic Steve is at doing it and it really plays to our strengths.” Sports Radio Interviews

And then again, you have people feeding into Dwights egocentric fantasy mind frame . . .

Talk about deja vu. Even his quotes are the same this year as they were last year.

Nothing else matters but right now...blah blah blah...no one can control what happens after the season....blah blah blah...I want to win a championship with this team....blah blah blah...I'm here right now.

[The Real Dalic]

What happened to this guy? He used to be a well liked, well respected player, now he's probably the most hated player in the NBA. And he's not helping himself with all these little things he's doing.

[Hilltop]

The fame got to him I suppose. That plus the fact that everyone is out to get him now.

It's sad, he could've been a really popular well respected player that everyone would want on their team like a Durant or Rose. He is fun TV right now with what's going on now though. I'm pretty sure the NBA is enjoying it.

I have met a few people who used to be famous when real young. They get what I call the "God" complex because everyone praises them and does everything for them for years. Then, they expect people to worship them. Dwight Howard is quickly becoming like Lindsey Lohan. I hope he fails really hard and keeps making these idiot moves. I am enjoying the hell out of this.

[bigpimpatl]

Some of you guys need to let it go already and move on.

[craig01]

This is just so entertaining......and I think most folks have moved on.

What is surprising is how Howard just continues on a path of constant mis-steps.

[BadMofoPimp]

Because of Dwights Needy Ass, Magic now are the worst team in the entire NBA.

Yeh, you try getting over that!!!!
