Source: Dwight Howard blames Lakers fans for his departure

[Scholar]

Oh, well. Dwight is a piece of shit anyway. I don't know where he got this idea that Lakers fans are "unappreciative" and "ungrateful." I went to 3 home games this year and it was crazy seeing the amount of D12 jerseys in the crowd.

If he's basing it off of maybe some fans mocking him on Twitter, then he once again has shown his mental weakness. He can't handle being trolled by a few fans? Does he really think some trolls on Twitter represent every LA Lakers fans' views? I'm pretty damn sure he's not visiting message boards.

It's irritating to have this drama queen on the roster. I've never seen a superstar complain more than Dwight does. "I don't get any touches." Give him the ball more and he just turns it over more than Artis Gilmore. "I want to be a bigger part of the offense." Give him the ball more and he just gets fouled and misses 60+% of his shots at the charity stripe.

"We need to trust each other." The team puts trust in him and he gets swept in the Playoffs, albeit with a shitty line-up playing with him, but he did get outplayed by a soon-to-be-retiring Duncan. Maybe it shows Duncan's greatness more, but it also shows how delicate Dwight is. What a [color=black]pu[/color]ssy. The most dominant Center in the NBA today, according to everyone, yet he can't even hold his own against an elderly Timmy D.

This guy's defense is overrated, too. He does intimidate smaller players from running into the paint, but I don't see him intimidating any guys his size.

D12 has 0 post offense ability. He can barely do an up-and-under. His layups are pathetic. I know he came off back surgery, but does that really mean he can't at least try to develop a post game? The guy is nearly 30 and all he relies on is athleticism. I'd like to see how he plans on continuing being the "most dominant C today" when he can't jump high.

I'm not salty. I'm glad he's leaving. He's just a piece of shit player. I hate to use this term but he's a locker room cancer. He was tearing the team apart more than actually getting them to come together. All anyone has to do is pay attention to how dirty he did the Orlando franchise and you'll know his true colors. He led them on to believe the coach was the problem. No, Dwight. Your piece of shit, shady characteristics and mannerisms were the problem. Fuck you.

can this clown be anymore bitchmade?

Well at least he's not in Miami... those fans are even worse.

[cotdt]

Dwight should go to Miami Heat. We don't want him.

[loganwadams]

Bet he's a closet Clippers fan

Completely true, finally Dwight says something right.

Those ungrateful excuses for fans even use Pau Gasol as a whipping boy when he won you 2 rings.

Thanks LA for feeling so entitled! Y'all made it easier for him to leave

[SilkkTheShocker]

Someone explain to me how the Lakers will make the playoffs without Howard? I don't it happening.

One thing I will say is this.


If this is true then Howard is about as mentally weak as they come.


ANY semi big market teams are going to come with pressure.

You either take that pressure on or you fold.

"Blaming" fans that do not appreciate you without you having done nothing yet is just so so soft. And a massive copout.


Wtf does anyone need to "appreciate" and be "educated" about here?

[TheWalkman]

Lakers have great fans

I hope this f@ggot somehow ends up rotting on the Bobcats.

What's more amazing than this report is how quick people are to believe anything that's put on the internet, regardless of how poorly sourced it is. It's the Wikipedia/twitter generation I guess.
