Wait, has anyone tracked down Kurt Rambis, or Elden Campbell for their thoughts on Howard? I have never seen a fanbase piss their pants and whine more over a player they all seem to hate. ing es.

[callo1]

Words of wisdom there by Kareem.

One of my favorites is "potential means you haven't done it yet".

Listen man...I was dreaming of Dwight coming to LA since 2009....unless that has some sort of break through year in 2013-14 I just dont see his game developing much. Since 2009-2010 Lebron, Durant have gone to the NEXT level. Dwight has actually taken 2 steps backwards. I know Houston fans have a 12 o clock boner just like we did, but they'll see he can't win games for you in that 4th quarter.

It's extremely frustrating to watch a big man like him with stone hands, on an average 1 out of 2 times when he touches the ball he turns it over. Don't get me wrong, I'd love him on my team, but NOT for a max contract. Either way, Id be very happy if I was a Rocket fan...no hate here.

Dude was 2nd in MVP voting in 2010-2011

[djohn2oo8]

Dwight alreay found two more baby mammas

[LkrFan]

Damn, Lew dropped the hammer. That's some real though.

Here's mre

Legendary big man and Los Angeles Lakers great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar ripped into Dwight Howard after he made his decision to join the Houston Rockets official. Abdul-Jabbar took to his Facebook page and wrote "potential has a shelf life," regarding Howard.

One of Howard's motivations to leave the Lakers and join the Rockets was to work with Kevin McHale and Hakeem Olajuwon directly to improve his low-post game. In L.A., he had Kareem, who had plenty to say about Howard's lack of post-moves and growth as a player in an interview with Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle in May -- well before Howard left the team.

"[Howard] hasn't made any progress. We (the Lakers when Kareem was an assistant coach) played them in ‘09, and when I saw him this past season, he was the same player," Abdul-Jabbar referred to the Lakers NBA Finals series against the Olrando Magic in 2009.

"He gets the ball on offense, oh, my god, he doesn't know what to do. It's usually a turnover, people come and take the ball from him or tie his arms up. Offensively, he doesn't get it." Abdul-Jabbar told Ostler.

LMAO

Truth bombs. Rcket Fans

[whitemamba]

Damn, the CAP slapping dwight...

[AchillesHeel]

Lol and now everyone's questioning what Kareem had to say. ESPN totally dissed the legend like he has no right to talk about Dwight and his limited offensive game. Lol at SAS calling out Laker legends on First Take like they have no right to talk about a Center that talked about winning championships for the Lakers and who bolted a couple of months later. Kareem is the greatest Laker of all time, he's forgotten more than Howard will ever know about the C position. And Kareem's a great teacher, he molded Bynum into the greatest big man today (a healthy Bynum is, we saw that last year and even then he had injuries) despite Bynum being a spolied brat who only cares about $$$ and not winning.

[Clipper Nation]

Kareem's right about B-Kemp's ful offensive game, but still, "salty" is a generous word to describe how the Lakers are acting right now.... they're throwing a tantrum like a 3-year-old in a store who didn't get the toy they wanted

[GuerillaBlack]

Lol Kareem wouldn't be saying this if Howard was on the Rockets. cant believe someone would leave the "mighty" Lakers. The saltiness has been entertaining. Laker tears everywhere. No nothing is wrong with the Lakers and the Rockets don't have a better constructed team than the Lakers for dwight....(not srs)

Agreed, but you'd be mad too if CP3 had left, tbh.

Never mind that, I was livid when Elton Brand stabbed the Clippers in the back, but even then, nobody was carrying on and melting down like the Lakers are doing

This is the truth here. It's a multi dimensional answer to what's going on. They knew without him they won't do this upcoming year, or nothing in the next 2-3 years possibly. But, his low post game is extremely mechanical.
