Articulate, intelligent, workmanlike, respectful, under-control. Two good games vs. Detroit. This guy should be the face the NBA sells this year. I love this guy. Don't underestimate him.
I agree, think he's a great guys with lots of talent. I only wish the best for him in the future and maybe he can become one of the faces of the NBA.
anyone know him from Bellaire high?? i wonder wut were his grades in there, i know dat school is competitve(filled w/ smart nerds)
I knew him when he was at school there... and scarily enough, he took school just as seriously (if not more seriously) than he did basketball. While he was a great player when he came in as a freshman, nobody was ever forecasting he would be a great college b-ball player, let alone become a pro. Thus, his primary goals were to get good grades because that was how he was going to make a living... but eventually, he just became too good on the court. Also, the fact that he shot up 5-6 inches from his freshman to senior year had a lot to do with why he eventually chose basketball. He only started getting some attention his senior year, and none of those schools were big name. It was only when Calhoun saw him at a senior all-star game that he was wondering why nobody was going after this guy.
It sure did have adverse effect or "change" on Grant Hill, Yao Ming, David Robinson, Ray Allen, Tim Duncan, Avery Johnson, Juwan Howard, Antoine Jamison, Shane Battier,......the list gones. Spot on nWo34Life.
Not everyone. He's already a millionaire, still seems like a pretty decent guy. Mutombo was one of the highest payed players in the NBA, he still seems okay. I don't think the big bucks changed David Robinson or Hakeem that much either. Conversely, big contracts haven't domesticated guys like Artest or AI one bit. Spree thinks he needs $14mil+ to feed his family. Anyway, I realize that I just stole Fegwu's post, but I think it was an important enough point to be repeated.
lol money doesn't change everyone... Some people have values..isn't Dwight Howard like religious.. I hope Emeka does well..represent Tracy McGrady seems like a good guy
One of my favorite stories I heard (possibly here) was how Deke used to walk into bars (when he was in washington DC at college) and put his arms wide apart and say, "What woman wants to sex Mutumbo?" Do that in front of your friends and its solid gold.
Money doesn't really change you. Money makes you more of what you already are. Put your wallets away people, that one was on the house.
I was flipping through some channels and ran across dwight howard on some Christian Channel. I think it was Trinity Broadcasting Network.
