It's sad how people there worship Kobe. But at the same time Howard is deserving of the boo's. They should send him to Mindanao next time..the war zone.

Lots of Lakers and Spurs fans + (insert currently dominating 3rd team) in Philippines, so it's not surprising.

Mental midget....
4-11 shooting, 3 rebounds, 4 turnovers in 24 minutes...
That, or Hibbert really bothered him. Dwight's always had problems with true size like he did with Yao.

Re: Dwight booed in the Phillipines, chants of "Kobe"
I'm not sure if being cheered by people who really have no idea what is going on in this league is a good thing.
And i'm not sure if being booed by them is a bad thing.
They probably know about 5 players over there in total: Kobe, Dwight, Lebron, Ron Artest, and maybe Dwyane Wade

Re: Dwight booed in the Phillipines, chants of "Kobe"
I hope that the "Kobe" chants follow Dwight in every NBA arena. That would be Nene Hilario
Not because I dislike D12, simply because that would be trolling at it's finest, going from arena to arena
