The Orphanage was a badass movie.
So I think we all agree Dwight Howard is a fluke and a hypocrite.
What's the fluke's season averages now? 22 and 15 with 3 blocks per game?
Not everybody has what it takes to remain a virgin as long as Jeff and I have. There's nothing fluke about that.
i cant to seem to figure out why you all are making such a big deal of this and talking about howard. hes had premarital sex.... so what ? that does not mean he is not a christian. do you guys realize how much high quality ass is thrown at him all damn day and night ? he is a human being whose instincts point toward sex. give the guy a break. the flesh is weak.
also, howard never painted himself as a saint, the media did that. hes just a young kid who IS a christian having to deal with all the temptations that come with being an NBA superstar.
I have known about this for a while but never said anything until it became public. He is "taking care" of his child in the financial sense, but kids need more than that. He also made sure to confirm he is the father- if you get my drift. People would be less disappointed if it was a child from an actual serious relationship. People are applauding his owning up to it, but the baby is about 2 months old already IIRC and he is finally publicly acknowledging him.
icem, log back into your cry havoc screen name or quit copying and pasting.
Chris Kaman is a more balanced player. 18 points and 14 rebounds. He's not a ballhog like Dwight Coward is.
all the while i thought dwight was still a virgin. all is right in world after all.
It seems like people in this thread are making alot of judgements regarding what is a "Christian act". The fact of the matter is that the actions that are deemed to be in line with almost any religion differs from one intepretation to the other... sect to sect, and person to person. The texts of almost every religioun say contradictory things, or proclaim things that are unnacceptable to modern societies. To some people, their interpretation of a religion may allow them to have a child out of wedlock, if they take responsibility for that action, and not be any "less Christian". Their interpretation of their faith may then allow them to encourage a "Christian lifestyle" without this type of action being contradictory.
So Orlando starts 14-4, but only goes 9-11 since.
Yeah that's a real beast there.
no one is talking about orlando. Howard didnt make the team go 9-11.
Wow, I've lost a lot of respect for some of the posters.
Why are you even involving yourself in Dwight Howards personal life?
Don't you have a life to live of your own? Bad question.
I may not consider myself to be entirely Christian (or at least the present day definition), but I do believe in the theology and teachings of Christianity.
Jesus said those who haven't sinned cast the first stone.
So why are some of you throwing (preverbial) stones at a man and women who should be celebrating a very exciting part of their life? Maybe this child leads to marriage? What if this child allows Dwight to further his faith and relationship with God? Why not give people the chance to grow and learn?
If you want to be critical of his play on the court....that's cool....but is it neccessary to becoming enamoured with his personal life?
I agree, off jeff
not that there's anything you could do about it short of paying for it.
A 22 year old having sex...wow, didnt see that coming.
Nice try, but...
If a person chooses to espouse their personal beliefs and invites people into that part of their life, they need to know that scrutiny will follow. If he had never made a big PUBLIC deal about his PERSONAL faith, no one would care.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/draft2...ory?id=1811526The 18-year-old power forward from Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy has the potential to be this year's No. 1 overall pick. He's also expressed his desire to put a cross on the NBA logo, as well as use his power in the league, "to make sure that everybody hears the truth about God."
"We're first looking for a talented player, someone who will have the ability to play in this league at a very high level," Williams said. "But we're also looking for someone who a young man who is strong in character, and I believe Dwight's strong Christian stance, a la (former Spurs center) David Robinson is a wonderful part of his life.
"Despite the fact that he might make himself a target, it thrills me to see a young athlete unashamed of his stance on religion."
"I think his faith should be a factor in them selecting him," said Howard's father Dwight, a Georgia state trooper and athletic director at SACA. "If they know where Dwight is coming from, and that he is rooted and grounded, that could only bring about a good thing."
http://www.nykola.com/archives/000463.htmlAs a high school senior at Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy, he was the number one overall NBA draft pick of 2004 to the Orlando, Magic and has already staked his position on the court as being an unashamed follower of Jesus Christ out to change the negative image of basketball players. From the time that he was a little boy, he's had the vision to "raise the name of God within the league and throughout the world." For Howard, the NBA is his pulpit, but he plans on preaching through his lifestyle. Howard has an uphill battle ahead of him in a profession that seems to be breeding bad behavior (and infidelity). Howard however, has been open in interviews about remaining a virgin until married and desiring to set a standard of purity amongst a culture of womanizing and casual sex. Not too enveloped by the millionaire lifestyle, Howard is intent on staying humble and grounded by the reality of God's blessings...
havoc, whatever you posted, i can't see it here for some reason at work. if it was something proving that icem is not you, then he sure is a good imitator.
ploto, nice articles. good finds. (know that havoc will still have none of it tho)
Actually I'm probably not going to bother responding to you any more, since you clearly don't read the posts of people you disagree with. Forgive me. I'm just not as enlightened of a human being as you are. Rest in your superiority and being right about everything, if it helps you sleep at night.
