The one is going to be even more vomit-inducing than the LeBron/Wade/Bosh handjob fest, because at least LeBron has the talent to back up all the arrogant shit talk.

Dwight seems genuinely happy.

[Splits]

Says he wants to have fun.

[Splits]

Loves smiling while playing, likes having fun. Take life too serious you miss out on good things (like 6 baby mammas), oh, did I mention he wants to have fun.

[weebo]

So it sounds like he wants to smile and have fun. Smiling and having fun sounds like fun. The rockets will smile a lot and also have fun.

[AchillesHeel]

Aww, all the Houston legends together

[AchillesHeel]

lol Yao did that meme face

[illusioNtEk]

it all makes sense now... Houston is a great fit for him.

I hope Rockets do well... my 2nd fav team

That shot at Kobe was nice.

[AchillesHeel]

I actually kinda like Houston now, seeing the whole atmosphere and how they treated Howard was nice, when Lakers got him there was no presentation and no legends showed up, Houston did the whole thing.

[Clipper Nation]

Shit was corny as fuck, especially the videos - did they really expect us not to notice that Dwight was wearing a Magic jersey in the highlights by turning it red? :lol

They could have done a better job with the dumb rally right after the press conference. Like put it in the evening. But still, it's not their fault dumbasses are passing out left n right.

There weren't many highlights to chose from..

Oh, and this was just laughable:

Part of the reason he picked Houston is because the local media is very soft on its local athletes.

LOL something like 22 kids between Howard and Murphy there.

[baseline bum]

Yao is a great? :lmao

Sampson is a lot fishier than Yao on that list tbh

[DMX7]

Rockets need to change their uniforms. This isn't China.

He can work with former rocket, Calvin Murphy to get advice on how to break Murphy's NBA record of 14 illegitimate kids with 9 different women. I think Dwight can break this record.

Within 24 hours signing on with the Rockets, Dwight Howard will return to Los Angeles. This time, however, will be very different.

Howard will be joining a group of Rockets players for workouts together in Los Angeles.

“I’m leaving for LA (Sunday),” Howard said. “A couple of those guys are flying with me. I’m looking forward to it. It’s a chance to learn each other, learn each other’s game, just have a feel for what we want to do as a team. The guys are excited, very excited.”

In addition to the players in Houston, Chandler Parsons and Patrick Beverley, Howard said he had received congratulatory messages or calls from James Harden and Jeremy Lin. Both will be a part of the workouts in Los Angeles.

“Me and James organized it,” Parsons said. “It was actually initially going to be in Orlando. I was hoping to keep some of the young guys there after summer league since they were already here. Once Dwight came, J Lin is out there already. Omri (Casspi) is coming out there. Terrence Jones, Greg Smith, Isaiah (Canaan), so we have a group good of guys. L.A. was more convenient, so I guess I had to travel the longest distance.”

I suppose Calvin Murphy and Dwight Howard can compare baby making techniques since that seems to be a common hobby.

FWIW, Calvin can tell him from experience that all those kids eventually look for daddy money and will use blackmail to get it.

[-21-]

I wonder what Hakeem, Yao, and Clyde really think about Howard...

True...Laker fans are entitled. The reality check on the horizon will straighten em up imo.

Lakers cant always win, some of the yonger fans which make up i want to say like 90% of the internet posters, have grown up in a great laker era. So they have not seen anything else, tbh i remember those days with van exel, and eddie jones, kobe, shaq, kept losing that shit was rough.

No one cares Clyde had Hakim, or Magic had KAJ. But somehow magically when it comes to Kobe he 'needed' a big man to win it all. As if anyone in the history of the game didnt have a sidekick or 2 on a team.

[Leetonidas]

tbh Dwight is a massive faggot but he has caused the Laker franchise and the entire city of LA so much asspain that I almost admire his trolling abilities. Can't wait to see his return to LA

[Leetonidas]

People say that about Magic/Kareem a lot. They had Big Game James as well. But seriously, you cannot compare old Drexler to prime Shaq, c'mon bro

[Thebesteva]

I wasnt, I was comparing Hakim to Shaq in which Hakim is better. If I was a neutral fan of the Lakers I would despise Kobe as well, but I would know deep down its because he won so many damn rings and he 'had help'. But I would look at the reality, everyone needs help.

Lebron has literally the best team ever assembled as well. I think the greatest act MJ ever did was convince everyone he did it on his own.

[Clipper Nation]

Lebron has literally the best team ever assembled as well.
:lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao

[Leetonidas]

I guess, but Hakeem's first title team was a one man show pretty much. Yeah he had clutch players but those were role guys who stepped up, just like Danny Green, they are not going to win you the series. Hakeem and Duncan have both won titles with no other all-star players or even true 2nd options. Dirk as well (he had a great team though). However, Tim Duncan is the only player in NBA history to win multiple titles without an All-NBA teammate... :toast

But yeah bball is a team sport and obviously everyone needs SOME help, no one can truly do it by themselves. Shaq needed Kobe during the 3peat but not as much as Kobe needed Shaq imo

[Thebesteva]

:lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao

Just out of curiosity, is your sig of Lebron indicating how many times he shot his load in your mouth?

Kobe definitely needed Shaq more, I agree 100%. But then ask yourself this, what was the one HUGE difference on how Chicago and Cleveland approached MJ and Lebron respectively as compared to the Lakers approaching Kobe?

Chicago and Cleveland actually started building a team around those guys in his rookie year, the Lakers organization wanted Kobe to develop and build around Shaq. It's not his fault the organization was unsure of him, even the Twolves built around KG from day 1. The Lakers may have been the wrong team in someways for Kobe to prove himself, it would have been interesting to see what would happen if they built solely around him since day 1.

[Koolaid_Man]

I wonder what Hakeem, Yao, and Clyde really think about Howard...

You don't really wanna know....


Hakeem is already on record as saying Kobe is the 2nd greatest behind MJ in his view....

Kobe was the sidekick and constantly gets compared to someone who didn't need a big man to win it all.

for comparison, this is how dwight was treated in LA

notice how the guy just tossed dwight jersey's to mitch kupchak? :lol

It will be a treat watching Media babysit him in Texas. They'll be a general gag order instituted immediately concerning his free throw acumen. That's Number 1.

A patsy will be targeted, brought into the light and publicly flogged:::Media can't use Lin because he's a slope and they canonized him in what seems a few minutes ago. Asik? He wouldn't take it and has already put them on notice he won't. Nope..............McHale. He's pure white and he would be quiet as they skinned him alive because he's still indebted to NYC for saving him after he cheated & hamstrung MN. aided & abetted MA.. Yep, McHale.

sarkizzle24 (http://instagram.com/sarkizzle24/) Pathetic. Sorry you made a mistake. I am not hating but you decided on a BMW over a Bentley. And let me correct all you fucken Houston fans. You will never and I mean never be a franchise like the Lakrers. How many banners do you have? Oh yeah two and a bunch of banners that don't mean anything. We only put championship banners not conference champ banners or division champs. Like biggie said relax and take notes. Enjoy your new toy but like Phil said he is a Astro and we are the Lakers. You all look like the Miami fans that showed up to that stupid show with Lebron Wade an Bosh. Trust me you guys are not winning next year. I don't even think you will be better than us. So what you have Harden, Parsens and 12 but I think we have still the greatest to play @kobebryant (http://instagram.com/kobebryant), and the best shooter to ever play @stevenash (http://instagram.com/stevenash) and the best skilled big man @paugasol (http://instagram.com/paugasol). Again relax and take notes. I know all the comebacks Kobe is has his injury and we are old. My answer no shit idiots but 16 is more than 2 pathetic banners. We all know if Jordan was around those would not be there. @lakers_nation_ (http://instagram.com/lakers_nation_) for life. I bleed purple and gold @bosshognit (http://instagram.com/bosshognit).
