Dwight, Grow up

Dwight Howard needs to grow up! He leaves Orlando after putting himself in the limelight, making as much publicity as possible while distracting and taking away from his team. Now he is in Los Angeles doing the same thing.

            Dwight was ranked as the most well liked player in the NBA. How many fans would even consider him in the top 10 now? After making noise and complaining about his contract, his physical condition, his lack of effort, or his teammates, he is now badmouthing his previous team, stating, "My team in Orlando was a team full of people who nobody wanted, and I was the leader, and I led that team with a smile on my face."

            He claims the recognition when they went to the finals and how well they played to get there, but when they lost he blamed his three point shooters for shooting poorly. He is now competing with the Lakers and has so far been one of the biggest bust trades of the season. But one thing we can count on from Dwight Howard, is that he will unfailingly put himself in the light of the media to make some noise.

            Some words of advice Dwight, just because you are naturally athletic and have great potential doesn't mean you can just roll through the game and be great. You still have to put in the hours and the time, and most importantly you have to start accepting responsibility for your own actions and stop blaming others for your failure. You could be great but you take too many outs, play like you can, stay out of the media and be great. Otherwise you will simply be Terrell Owens version of a basketball player. In the end no teams or players wanted to play with him because of his selfish attitude and playing style.
