    "other people" = Jason Terry most likely.

    you mean the skill set he refused to play in 2015/16

    and the non existent skill set he insisted on playing?

    I was a fan of Dwight and a staunch defender of his bulls**t. Dwight being a complete ******* his last year in Houston made me look like a chump and has burned me irreparably.

    I really dislike Dwight Howard. All Dwight threads trigger me. I have to stay away from my triggers.

    Furthermore, what in the hell is this supposed to mean!?

    "But like I’ve always said, I’ve never had a personal issue with James. Why? Everything he is doing now, everything he is coming into, I’ve been that player. The awards, all that, the accolades. I wasn’t there to try to compete against him. I wanted to win with him."


    SHUT UP, DWIGHT!

    My main problem is when he starts saying that he didn't have any issue with Kobe. To me that invalidates everything else he says. He takes no accountability for anything that's happened in Orlando, LA, or Houston. I can't respect that. There was SOMETHING! Yeah he says all the right things, but it's so fake and obviously rehearsed. He had me fooled but not anymore. I call BS.

    sounds real insecure with harden

    he prolly came into houston thinking he'll be batman and harden his robin

    then reality was he needed to be robin next to harden and he had a hard time accepting that

    Is JJ Watt a presence in the Houston community? Or is he too busy being JJ Fatt? :p

    Yes. The guy is textbook passive-aggressive, and I think that is why so many people dislike him, whether they think in those terms or not. The disingenuousness just oozes from his pores. It's like a top 3 most annoying personality trait.

    This sums it up for me as well. Happy when he got here. Not upset he left.

    His Orlando side of the story sounds like complete BS in this article lmfao.

    I believe him when it comes to LA and Houston tho. People automatically assume if there isn't a bromance between the stars on your team there are chemistry issues.

    Dwight would have been amazing here this season if he would have accepted his role. He does sound extremely passive aggressive and doesn't realize that he is no longer a star in the NBA. He reminds me of Mickey Rourke in the Wrestler or anyone who just doesn't realize that they are not in their 20's and in their prime physically anymore. He sounds so desperate to repair his image it actually seems sad. I wish him the best but I think his days of being the Man are just done.

    Also... if he really was serious about winning a ring he would have stayed here and played NeNes role until the playoffs. Does he really think the Hawks are in a better position to win it all? They just dismantled that team and he is stuck there. He just keeps collecting those checks.
