[QUOTE]Remember when Dwight Howard was portrayed by so many as the selfish one in Los Angeles?

Ever since leaving the Lakers for the Rockets, numerous national media voices have criticized him for supposedly running from a leadership role and lacking the commitment to win an NBA championship.

Monday offered an interesting contrast on that front. In Memphis, the Rockets (10-5) pulled off a miraculous 93-86 come-from-behind victory, all with Howard not playing one second in the fourth quarter.

Statistics, shot attempts, post-up opportunities

I believe he complained about teammates complaining about minutes.

Dude rides the pine all 4th quarter because he's a liability out there on the court with the game on the line and all of a sudden he's "sacrificing minutes for wins".

Meanwhile, Kobe accepts an offer proposed TO him by Lakers management for two whole years and he's "crippling the Lakers future".

Pauk's lion essay deserves publication more than this piece of shit article. Rockets fans are embarrassing.

He still took less money rather than stay with Lakers.

Howard leaves 30M on the table to play for a contender. Kobe signs 48M extension to play for a bottom feeder. Lead by example Dwight. Lead by example.

That's not the same thing as sacrificing for the betterment of his team. He only took less money because the Rockets couldn't pay him as much under the CBA. He still took the max amount of money that he could get from the Rockets. If you're going to criticize Kobe and praise Howard at least compare apples to apples.

[QUOTE]On Monday, Howard practiced what he preached. Though his big-picture numbers were solid with 15 points (6-of-10 FG) and seven rebounds in 27 minutes, he turned it over five times and didn

Maybe Dwight should follow Kobes example and learn some post moves

So somehow Howard getting benched for Asik makes him a great guy because Bryant has a huge contract.

This is your best post.
