Lakers star center Dwight Howard managed to show off his arrogance (or supreme confidence if you want to be nice) and insult all of the NBA’s centers with one statement.“I’m the best center in the league, even at 75 percent (healthy),” he said at Friday’s NBA All-Star Game media day.
Howard has been battling with injuries in his first season with the Lakers. He is averaging 16.3 points, 11.8 rebounds and 2.3 blocks in his 48 games with the Lakers.
Despite a star-studded roster that includes Howard, Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash and Pau Gasol, the Lakers have a record of 25-29 at the break. Many believe the struggling team could make a move as the trade deadline nears, however, the Lakers have told Howard that they will not trade him before the Feb. 21 deadline.
“I’m not talking about my future,” he said on Friday.
When asked about what it’s like playing for the Lakers, Howard said, “it’s getting better.”
If you don't consider Duncan a center and take a healthy Bynum out of the equation, I guess he is by default, which isn't really much of a feat considering the lack of quality bigs in the league. Some might reference Brook Lopez, but he can't rebound worth a .
Honestly, when I read that quote by Howard I feel that he thinks that his value is dropping and wants to remind everyone that he's still the best. When did this guy go from my favorite non-Laker player to the NBA's version of Terrell Owens? in bad luck this year
Bible has been 100% healthy already. He's just being exposed after being the best monkeyballer from PEDOrlando. Even DeAndre has more offensive moves than him.
Howard is a tool of supreme ness. He will reap what he sows tbh.
As far as his back goes, I believe that. I don't think Howard is still "recovering" from back surgery, but I do believe the surgery has permanently affected his athleticism.
Seems like agent Fu Manchu succesfully infiltrated Howard's entourage.
Well done, well done indeed...
FOR SOCIALISM!
FOR GREAT JUSTICE!
people shouldn't forget what he beast he was before the back surgery. he can still be an elite big when he's fully healed, even at a discount of his pre-injury self. just pissed he has been made the scapegoat by kobe & other teammates tbh
Jesus, what re ed nonsense.
Seems like agent Fu Manchu succesfully infiltrated Howard's entourage.

wtf are you doing with ur life?
Tim Duncan says, "hi."
But yeah not saying much, tbh...
Only guys that could realistically be called best center right now are those defensive minded guys like Chandler, Noah, Gasol. Maybe Brook Lopez. Dwight's statement not so much of a shock
75%? thats what splitter is playing atm
Dwight just reminding the Lakers what kind of contract he expects from them.
At 75% he probably is... if he would only play at anything over 10%...
Would the Lakers trade Dwight for Duncan? Would the Spurs accept Dwight?
brook lopez ain't defensive minded imho, and he's a mediocre rebounder for his size
I didnt group Lopez with the defensive minded guys. He's still pretty good all around though
I can't stand him lol.
Honestly, that's not really saying much. Howard just wants attention and All Star weekend has become his weekend to jackass-it up like normal.
Seems like agent Fu Manchu succesfully infiltrated Howard's entourage.
Well done, well done indeed...

Now watch as Pop lets him remain in the game even if they play Hack-a-Ho.
