Look at the Rockets locker room now. And compare that to when Dwight was here, especially at the end. Look at how CP3, PJ Tucker compete on the court. How they carry themselves. Compare that to Dwight. The difference in competitiveness and intensity is obvious.
I think he has the same personality as Shaq. The difference is he never was nearly as great. He didn't have the same skill and talent. If he was a winner people would have forgiven all of this. If you're a superstar you're allowed to be a jackass, everyone else needs to be on their best behavior.
He's just super immature... https://www.si.com/nba/2017/09/19/dwight-howard-hornets-magic-lakers-james-harden-kobe-bryant And on his relationship with Harden: Some coaching from Michael Jordan:
A grown ass man who likes to fart on team plane, go to Chuck E Cheese, and eat abnormal amount of candy. Who doesn’t want to hang out with someone like that? Bill Simmons was saying that a lot of players did not want to be on 2012 Olympic team if Dwight was on it.
Yeah it was hard to believe but Kobe was right about him. He was probably right about Shaq too, people just wanted to side with Shaq cause people hated Kobe. Difference is that Shaq is all time great and Dwight is a cancer.
Mike dantoni was a les alexander decision. It was his call when to fire mchale and who to hire as his replacement. Im sure he took moreys advice into account but that was definitely an owners final call.
