    Asked if he feels the Hawks are going in a different direction that the team he signed on for this offseason, Dwight Howard paused for six seconds, let out a sigh and said, "That's a tricky question to answer. … It's basketball. It's a serious business. You never know what can happen, with any team. You never know. I mean, I didn't expect this to happen, but, like I said, you never know."

    Man, Dwight is answering questions like almost every year except his first year in Houston over the last like 5.

    Its an insult to even ask this question.

    Seriously, hate this guy all you want.

    But there aren't many centers in the HOF which are better defensively than Dwight in his overall career.

    He is clearly better than Bill Walton, and even his career offensive stats are not as good as Ewing and Robinson, he is clearly a much better and dominating defensive centers than both.

    I have been hearing that since before iphones were around.

    Lebron has been severely lucky in that regard.

    It's easier for basketball. Probably yes based on what he did in Orlando

    To me, it will come down to if he can have another deep playoff run in his remaining career as the Alpha. i think he is right there on the door step but needs a push to get in HOF

    Yeah he was an absolute beast. Going through his resume, he's a lock for HOF.

    It's just too bad he was never able to capitalise on the promise he showed, but that goes for a lot of stars.

    Dwight Howard on the mood amongst the Hawks after learning of the reported trade of Kyle Korver to Cleveland: "I think guys are pretty hurt about it," Howard said. "On one hand, you're going to be happy for him going to a really good team. On the other hand, it's like, ‘Dang, he's going to a really good team.' I am curious to see what his handshake will be. A lot of those guys give really good handshakes. … Oh, man. It's just shocking, for all of us."

    I mean, just LOL!

    Young healthy Bill Walton kicks Dwight Howard's azz 10 out of 10.

    Yeah, there are many idiotic LOF also said that the first 7 games of Lin's career are better than Magic and MJ.

    What the hell is going on?

    4 days and nobody even made a post in this thread?

    I got it, the Hawks are suddenly winning again but it doesn't mean you should stop finding reasons to hate Dwight, right?

    Winning has a tendency to make you forget.
