OT: Dwight Howard's body is akin to a Greek god's 

Post#1 » by YogiStewart » Mon Jul 2, 2012 8:22 pm

from the words of the god himself, Mr Dwight Howard:

BIOGRAPHY

Orlando Magic center Dwight David Howard Jr. is not just a basketball player. He is one of the most charismatic and thus popular basketball player on earth. His muscular physique resembles a 6’11 bronze statue of Apollo. His resume belies his 24 years of age while reading like the first chapter of a sports monopoly. The home grown Atlanta, Georgian has pillared his brand on ferocious dunks and electric smiles.

I'm trying to figure out what an "electric smile" is.

I thought when I read that it was some beat writer describing Howard, who certainly does have an impressive physique. Then I noticed it's from his own website... Lame.

You do know he's being satirical right? Ala old spice-ish if you may.

What was Howard thinking in waiving his ETO. He could sign with the Nets with d-will today. Now he still wants to go there but it might be impossible to ever do it if the Nets blow their cap room. What a mess. His body may be god like but hes got the brain of a shoe box.

Isn't he a devout Christian? That's blasphemy according to Exodus 20:3.

I hate what has happened to Dwight. Prior to last season, he was easily one of the most likable players in the NBA. He was incredibly skilled, hard working and charismatic. Now, he's just skilled in the eyes of most NBA fans. He made some very, very poor decisions and is continuing to make them. His demand to be traded to one team is ridiculous. Holding his gm, and the team that he grew to stardom with, is hardly endearing nor should it be tolerated. He decided to opt-in to his contract and now the Magic are financially handcuffed as he is holding the cap space that they could be luring top free agents with. Not only that, but their return from anybody other than the Nets is going to be paltry due to Dwights public claim that he will only sign with Brooklyn next summer. How can the NBA police this kind of behavior? There has to be some sort of recourse for these actions.

Havent been to the greek museums in some time but the bronze statue of Apollo comparison seemed odd to me.

Dwight might need to refer to something other than cartoons or comic books for his references.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

And that, my friends, is why Greg Oden's bio said nothing of the sort.

dude...
its on his own website.

and when you're talking about web and media, you have a bio about yourself. not an autobio about yourself.
when you retire, then yes, there is a difference between bio and autobiography.
