This column was originally going to be a convincing piece as to why Maurice Cheeks (full disclosure: my favorite player of all time) deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.
Then Stan Van Gundy decided enough was enough and exposed for all of us Dwight Howard’s true character – a selfish brat whose childish demands and indecision make him utterly impossible.
When this mess in the Magic Kingdom shakes out sometime in May, Van Gundy will be unemployed, because that’s what happens in the NBA. He doesn’t seem too upset by that looming probability.
Moments after blowing the whistle on Howard – revealing that the spoiled superstar, in fact, has called for the coach’s head on a stick – Van Gundy offered up this gem Thursday.
“I’m the coach until they decide I’m not the coach,” he said. “It’s 12:02 right now. If they want to fire me at 12:05, I’ll go home and find something to do. I’ll have a good day.”
Van Gundy’s conviction about his future happiness almost certainly is tied to the fact that he no longer will be part of an entire franchise being held hostage by Howard, whose unlikability is now so pronounced he has unseated LeBron James as the NBA’s resident villain.
Despite a recent five-game losing streak – the longest of Van Gundy’s five-year tenure in Orlando – the Magic remain firmly entrenched as a playoff team. They are there because of the coach, who in a blur of a season with no teaching time has somehow held together a locker room with bungee cords and duct tape.
Hedo Turkoglu, whose best years came in his first stint with the Magic as a playmaking forward, swears by Van Gundy. So does Ryan Anderson, who is having the best season of his career as a dead-eye stretch-4. And Jameer Nelson appreciates Van Gundy well beyond the 94 by 50 rectangle.
“I love Stan as a coach,” Nelson said. “Since he’s been here he’s helped my career. Helped tremendously. He’s a great person.”
Most of Van Gundy’s players like him because he puts them in positions to succeed and help the team win. The media likes Van Gundy because he is not afraid to voice his opinion and does so with a sarcastic wit that allows stories to write themselves.
But independent of basketball, we should all like Van Gundy because his verbal colander has bigger holes than most of the rest of us. He does not bite his tongue, speak disingenuously or couch his comments. He is honest and truthful and real. What you see is what you get, and that is why we should like him.
As Nelson said, he is a great person, someone you would want as a friend.
Compare Van Gundy to Howard, who has (a) spoken in circles about his personal demands; (b) insulted our intelligence with disingenuous statements or outright lies, such as the whopper where he said he really didn’t understand all of the circumstances of opting out; (c) changed his mind more frequently than a woman at a shoe sale, and expected everyone impacted to kind of just go with the flow; (d) repeatedly refused to answer when offered the chance to explain his convoluted thought process; and (e) used his considerable influence to put his sense of satisfaction before everyone else, with no regard for their well-being.
Is that a great person? Someone you want as a friend?
Van Gundy also rides his players, accentuates the negative more than the positive, whines a bit 
too much for one’s liking and is a generation older than all of his players and most NBA fans, so he comes off as a curmudgeon.
Howard wears Superman outfits, smiles and jokes a lot, and does silly impersonations. He even does one of Van Gundy, garnering cheap laughter at the expense of his boss. But Howard is 26, so he comes off as gregarious.
But the truth is that the all of the Magic’s issues this season can be directly attributed to Howard and the Ringling Bros. atmosphere he has created, while much of their success can be credited to Van Gundy, who works much harder at his job than Howard does at his and should be commended, not canned.
In the real world, prima donnas like Howard are sent packing, with good riddance.
In the NBA world, the petulant children are in charge.
TRIVIA: Deron Williams owns or shares the single-game highs this season for both points (57) and assists (20). Who is the only player in NBA history to do that in a single season? Answer below.
THE END OF CIVILIZATION AS WE KNOW IT: Washington Wizards rookie forward Chris Singleton spent $10,000 on last week’s Mega Millions lottery drawing that had a top prize of $640 million, explaining that he otherwise would have been “blowing (the money) in the clubs.”
QUOTE OF THE WEEK: Sacramento Kings forward DeMarcus Cousins, after being told that Clippers forward Blake Griffin downplayed the physical nature of their recent matchup:
“That’s what Blake is going to say because he’s in LA, where actors belong. And he’s an actor.”
LINE OF THE WEEK: Andrew Bynum, LA Lakers at LA Clippers, April 4: 39 minutes, 13-20 FGs, 10-12 FTs, eight rebounds, four blocks, one steal, 36 points in a 113-108 win. Just when everyone was about to give up on Bynum due to recent immaturity issues, he stepped up in a huge game that could go a long way toward the Lakers securing the Pacific Division. And he did it on a bum ankle.
LINE OF THE WEAK: Jimmer Fredette, Sacramento vs. Phoenix, April 3: 13 minutes, 0-6 FGs, 0-5 3-pointers, one rebound, one assist, zero points in a 109-100 loss. It was the rookie’s seventh donut of the season and third against the Suns.
GAMES OF THE WEEK: New York at Milwaukee, April 11 and Phoenix at Houston, April 13. There are plenty of intriguing matchups, including several among the league’s elite. But none of those have as much as stake as these two contests, which should loom large in determining the final postseason berth in each conference. In the East, the Knicks have the upper hand in the standings, but the Bucks will have the tiebreaker if they win. In the West, the Suns are trying to make a late push against a very demanding schedule.
GAME OF THE WEAK: Charlotte at Cleveland, April 10. The Bobcats have lost 11 in a row. The Cavaliers have dropped nine of 10. And Kyrie Irving is sidelined. Yawn.
TRILLION WATCH: Two monstrous trillions were barely avoided as Orlando’s Chris Duhon had just an assist in 13 minutes on Sunday and New Jersey’s DeShawn Stevenson had just a turnover in 10 minutes on Tuesday. Stevenson had the week’s “best” effort with a 4 trillion Friday, well off Quincy Pondexter’s season-high 11 trillion.
TWO MINUTES: When the Bulls lost to Oklahoma City on Sunday and Houston on Monday, it preserved one of the longest-running trends in NBA history. No team has ever gone an entire season without losing consecutive games at least once. Even more astounding is that no team has ever gone 100 games over two seasons without dropping two in a row. Chicago had gone 86 games since Feb. 5-7, 2011, the second-longest streak ever. The longest belongs to the Utah Jazz, who went 95 games between consecutive losses from Nov. 18-20, 1997 to March 19-21, 1999. The streak ended with overtime road losses at Charlotte and Detroit. During the streak, however, Utah 
did lose three in a row to Chicago in the 1998 Finals. … Is there a bigger drop-off at any team’s position than New Jersey’s point guard, where Sundiata Gaines replaces Deron Williams? I can’t think of one, but if you can, put it in the comments section. … Clippers guard Randy Foye lit up the Mavericks on Monday for a franchise record-tying eight 3-pointers, and Dallas coach Rick Carlisle wasn’t pleased. “I was waiting for somebody to knock (Foye) down, do something. We just didn’t do it,” Carlisle said. The coach took the blame for his team’s passive play, but that really is on the players, who just let Foye continue to run free and fire away. … Remember Tyreke Evans’ rookie 2009-10 season, when he was being compared – at least statistically – to Oscar Robertson and LeBron James? Virtually all of his numbers have been in decline as he has dealt with injuries and position changes over the last two seasons. The argument used to be whether Evans was better suited at point guard or shooting guard, but since rookie Isaiah Thomas was installed as Sacramento’s starting point on Feb. 19, Evans has been playing small forward. “I still put him in a position to be a playmaker,” Kings coach Keith Smart said. “He’s a small forward with point guard skills.” Evans has had some struggles with the new position but seems to be getting the hang of it. In 23 games since making the move, he is averaging 16.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists while shooting a shade under 50 percent. “I’m trying to get used to it,” Evans said. “It’s up to me to be aggressive and to keep attacking. When I rebound, I just get a head start and just kind of open up things because they close the paint.” The bigger issues are on the defensive end, where the 6-6 Evans often finds himself overmatched against small forwards such as lengthy Kevin Durant and Shawn Marion and burly bulls Caron Butler and Metta World Peace. …In three games immediately after Kobe Bryant missed his first 15 shots and finished 3-of-21 from the field, the NBA scoring leader averaged 31.7 points on 62 percent shooting (39-of-63), including 8-of-14 from 3-point range. “It’s always interesting to me to hear people talk after a game like that,” Bryant said. “The amount of idiots that live out here after 16 years baffle me. I guess people just get dumber over the years.” … Since arriving in Miami, LeBron James has taken plenty of criticism – most of it justified – for his passive play down the stretch of games. That wasn’t the case in Tuesday’s win vs. Philadelphia, in which he scored 41 points, including 14 straight for the Heat in the final period. James’ disposition likely was impacted by the absence of the injured Dwyane Wade, who often shares the ball in crunch time. The Heat are 9-1 without Wade this season, and in those games, James has averaged 30.7 points – nearly 5 ppg higher than he does when Wade is playing. …Kevin McHale has been a player, coach, GM and analyst for more than 30 years. His Rockets are 20-8 at home and 9-17 on the road, and he admits he is boggled by the NBA’s home-court advantage, which is by far the most overwhelming of any of the four major pro sports. “I never understood that,” he said. “Baskets are 10 feet high and the court’s 94 feet. I’ve never seen a fan score a point yet.” McHale was a member of the 1985-86 Boston Celtics, who set a record by going 40-1 at home. … At the trading deadline, we said to keep an eye on Jordan Crawford, who basically was handed the Wizards’ starting shooting guard slot when Nick Young was dealt to the Clippers. In his first game after the trade, Crawford managed just six points. On Thursday, he had another stinker with nine points on 2-of-13 shooting. In 11 games in between, Crawford averaged 21.1 points on nearly 47 percent shooting. … It would have been easy to point to Oklahoma City’s home loss to Memphis on Monday as a trap game, coming between highly anticipated showdowns with Chicago (home win) and Miami (road loss). But the truth is the Grizzlies forced the Thunder to walk the ball up the floor all night and allowed just two fast-break points on a pair of free throws by Russell Westbrook with just 1:12 to play. … To all of the folks who lose it whenever Blake Griffin has another one of his posterizing dunks – like the one he had on Pau Gasol on Wednesday night – Chris Paul has some perspective for you. “It was exciting,” he said. “But at the end of the day, we lost. Who cares?”
Trivia Answer: Wilt Chamberlain had 68 points and 21 assists in separate games in the 1967-68 season. … Happy 72nd Birthday, John Havlicek. … When the Knicks visited Orlando this week, it must have been nice to be the second-most dysfunctional team in town.
Chris Bernucca is a regular contributor to SheridanHoops.com. His columns appear Wednesday and Sunday. You can follow him on Twitter.
It’s such as you understand my thoughts! Material have an understanding of lots in regards to this, just like you submitted a ebook within it or something. I have faith that you only can do by Per cent to just make the solution property a little, however in lieu of that, this is outstanding blog. An awesome read through. Let me certainly backside.
In a just world, Howard would be kicked to the curb for causing so much drama this season. But I bet the Magic will axe Otis Smith (who deserves it) and Stan Van (who doesn’t deserve it) in an attempt to appease Howard. Of course, appeasement is what Cleveland did to LeBron, and we all saw how that turned out…..
It’s on the bottom of the column – @ChrisBernucca. There’s a link. I usually don’t tweet every time I decide to take a shower or go out for something to eat, so you can get everything I write @SheridanHoops. Thank you for reading.
I love SheridanHoops for having some of the best writers in basketball. Sadly this article might be one of its worst. Bernucca you make some good points on Howard and SVG, but petulant children? I would love to give you a GM role in one of these Superstar contract situations. For example, say you’re Otis Smith and Howard tells you he will be a FA, and will strongly consider your team if you fire SVG. Would you call him a petulant child (ahem he is the 2nd best player in the league)? You could tell him, “I’m the GM, i make the decisions,” and watch him leave you with a new empty Arena to fill next year. Facts are facts, superstars are necessary to sell tickets and win championships. You can kid yourself all you want, but there are only about 4 or 5 of these players in the entire league. When you find one, you do your best to keep them. Petulant child? Easy to say as a writer, not when you’re running a team.
Wow! Could your article be more biased? You really need to look at yourself and understand what would drive you to write something so utterly biased in favor of the chubby white coach (and the inept Orlando ownership) and against the young black player. Seriously. Let me see if I can inject some objectivity here. Howard was in a position at the begining of the year where he could have extended his contract or not. He chose not to, which by itself was a pretty clear signal that he would most likely leave the team. Why did he want to leave? Who cares? It was his prerogative. Perhaps he didn’t like living in Orlando, or didn’t think that roster could win a championship, or just wanted a fresh start. It doesn’t matter. It was his choice. Then when put further on the spot, reports come out that he wants to be traded to NJ. I believe he half admitted that to be the case. At that point Orlando had more than enough evidence that the guy wanted to leave after the end of his contract. Instead of trading him or leaving it alobne, they proceed to put a full court press on him to get him to stay. This was perhaps a smart move in theory. Who knows what he was asked during this full court press? What did they talk about? I don’t know and you certainly don’t either. So perhaps they peppered him with questions and the topic of a coach came up and he said he would prefer to play for someone else. Again, what is wrong with that? He could have left or have been traded. Orlando didn’t have to do what he suggested when asked. What would you have done if put in the same position? I’m not saying Howard handled everything well, but let’s remember that this is a very unusual position for a 26-year old to be placed in and every word he says is being scrutinized. So SVG decided out of the blue to mention that DH asked to have him fired. You want to talk about being unprofessional? What would he have to gain by throwing his best player under the bus? I assume he wants to get fired or wants to get some petty revange on Howard and the organization. How can anyone defend what SVG did? You can’t! Oh wait, he is a funny chubby white guy who always gived me good sound bites. Of course what he did was OK. It’s that spoiled, entitled black guy that is a monster here. And what about the “guy” in the organization that leaked this information out (assuming this even happened)? Isn’t he a scumbag for revealing sensitive information. How do we know Howard even said anything of the sort? I mean, this is a joke. There is so much we don’t know, yet you have chosen to skewer Howard and make SVG a martyr. Do you not clearly see what is wrong with your position or how incredibly biased it seems?
Take another look and think about it.
Peace
Learn your facts… Half your post was guesses… Howard DID tell management that he wanted to be traded to NJ because he felt like he did not have a relationship with Smith. You are the biased one buddy, who clearly does not know all the facts. Howard was tired of his buddy’s getting traded and the fact he was not made aware of the deals. Smith has been a joke since he got hired and will be gone this summer. If you DID know your facts, Howard has thrown his team, coach and management under the bus for the past two years+. Howard is a big kid with a bigger ego. Just watch the NY game. He was calling his team out for missing rotations he was supposed to make. He even got on JJ for not picking up Tyson as he dunked on him. Get real… Yes Howard has the right to make up his mind, and change it, over, and over, and over again, but what does that say about his respect for the organization that drafted him out of high school? Class act guys like Durant and Rose signed on to their teams under the radar because they have something Howard doesn’t, honest loyalty… The only reason Howard is here is to get more cash before he dips next season. That is why the Magic need to trade the headache and bring in some class acts to turn this organization around before the fans tear down the house Howard built, and burns it to the ground… SVG is one of the best coaches in the NBA, period. He was sick of the lying and I do not blame him. One of the main reasons I like Stan. “Why did you guys loose?” Stan – “because the ball didn’t fall in the hoop and we didn’t play defense”… Take that media… Why do you think the rest of the team likes Stan? He pushes them to be the best so they CAN win a championship… So Howard needs to either put up or shut up, because his team is leading while he is the one following right now, and it should be the other way around…
You said it. He told them he was going to NJ. Why didn’t they just trade him or let him play out the year and go? Management knew they would be screwed regardless if he left and did all they could to keep him. Rose and Durant are in very different situations so it is not an apples to apples comparison. SVG got tired of the lies. boo hoooo f-in hooo. Give me a break! He is the coach and he just went to the media out of the blue to tell them something that should never had been said. We don’t even know if Howard ever asked for SVG to be fired. For all we know it is a fabrication. If SVG is so honest, he should go ahead and tell us exactly who told him that. I will assume that you are a Magic fan by your handle and that you are wanting to blame Howard for their issues, but bottom line is without Howard that franshise sucks. Who cares about SVG? They can get any other coach and be OK. This isn’t college, it’s the NBA so get your prioritoes straight and start rooting for Howard as opposed to findig ways to blame him for the problems with the team. And by the way, you clearly know that O Smith is a joke and always has been. You admited as much in your post. Why would Howard want to stay there when the GM is inept? Would you? Would Rose or Durant? Howard will clean house. SVG and O Smith will be gone next year and perhaps they will do something to appease him. I doubt it though and this whole ridiculous situation will play out again next year. Howard was too sentimental about this whole thing and allowed himself to be talked into staying. What kind of promises you think the executives made to him in order to convince him? I bet they offered the world. They probably told him he could basically run the team. He should have handled this better and should have simply left or force the trade. As an Orlando fan, you should be happy that they will give it one more year to try to get their act together with Howard and stop being so resentful.
Both of you make good points. Javier, I am in agreement with you that management let this go on too long and should have acted sooner. They have just postponed a decision that will have to be made at some point. Magicman, I agree with you that Stan’s a good fit for most players but not Howard, who seems to believe his superstar status puts him above criticism and negative reaction. It’s what makes horseraces, and both you guys made some salient points. Thanks for reading.
However, Javier, it does bother me that you suggest I am siding with Van Gundy because of race. Had Dirk done this, or Kevin Love, I would have launched into them too. And if Doc Rivers had played the role of Stan, I would have backed him. It’s the stance, not the guy taking it. This is a crazy, beautiful game that in my eyes knows no color.
Chris
Fair enough. If that is your perspective, I will take you at your word, but your column does not even hint at the fact that SVG just did what no NBA coach has or should ever do. He either violated confidential information that was given to him (perhaps putting someone’s job on the line) or even worse, completely fabricated this story. He completely divided his team and threw his best player under the bus in front of the world. All this while his team is still in the middle of the playoff hunt. He is a disgrace and your whole column is dedicated to telling us that Howard is a disgrace and SVG is a great guy. Doesn’t seem quite fair and balanced to me.
How do you know the Magic aren’t playing Howard at his own game? The Magic could very easily trade Howard to the Hornets if they wanted to next year and bring back Kaman and Gordon… This way the Magic have more of a bargaining chip because Howard can’t do anything until the end of the year and will have to play where he is traded. The Magic knew that. You are right about one thing though, STAN is the coach, NOT Howard. BTW he isn’t the GM either… yet… You harp about honesty but since when has Mr. Flip Flop Howard been honest? You harp about throwing people under the bus, but Howard has been doing that since training camp. I’m more than a Magic fan, I live here and my tax dollars helped pay for that arena. Even more than that, I’m a basketball fan of talent, respect and loyalty. Another reason why I don’t care for Bron or Melo. Now Duncan, that’s a whole other story. I blame Howard because it’s largely his fault. Last year it was the techs, free throws, complaining and 3 second calls. This year it’s him complaining and not getting back on defense, and the free throws. How many games did the Magic loose from the line? You say the Magic suck without Howard, but did he play the other night? Nope. Did they get slammed? Nope. So before you TRY to call someone out learn your facts. Yeah Otis is a dope and so was John. We can hope Alex will do a better job. I, as a fan, have a right to be pissed at a so-called team captain that doesn’t even deserve the title. Howard would not be the same player on another team because he would demand the offense be ran through him (the main reason he did not want to go to the Lakers), resulting in the same mess Stan has to deal with. Come on back when you get educated and I’d love to continue my resentfulness… Maybe when you wake up and smell the coffee you will realize that Howard is trouble no matter where he goes… Behold a wolf in sheep’s clothing… and leave Chris alone about race… there are other boards for that mess… BTW it’s funny how the other team mates came to Stan’s defense… because they know how dang good of a coach he is. I like Nate and his play book but do not think it’s the right fit for the Magic. I do however like JJ and J-rich running off screens while the bigs rebound. The offense seems to flow much better that way and then they can run p&r’s more soundly and the Gs reach the paint easier…
And still no mention of any wrong doing by SVG??? OK. Let’s see where he ends up next year after what he pulled. The Magic absolutely did the right thing in having him stick around. As you say, now they have more options open. Either try to keep him long term or trade him. Though if they trade him, get ready to watch them absolutely suck for a while. Good luck with Kaman and Gordon. Souds like you are done with the guy, so perhaps for your sake they will trade him for a whole bunch of 1st round picks and they can start over from scratch. Also, Howard’s problem to an extent is that he has been too honest. He has changed his mind several times and has made that known. Don’t accuse him of dishonesty, accuse him of bad PR management. He should have played it differently, but that is how it played out.
I guess last night proved my point…
Sure. One game proved your point. You are absolutely right. Orlando is a better team without Howard. Done here.
My point was that they are not as bad you say they are. When Howard isn’t demanding the ball and clogging up the lane it opens the floor. That’s just common basketball sense. Another point I was making is that if they traded him they do have bargaining chips to still get a competitive team in return that Stan will be able to take to a championship. If they keep Howard, do not look for a banner to be hung in Orlando anytime soon.
Can’t resist. Since you wanted to jump to a conclusion after one game….nice loss against Washington (without Nene). What’s next? A loss to Charlotte? Wishful thinking if you think that team of scrubs would even sniff the playoffs without Howard. You know it’s true, just don’t want to admit it.
On a b2b? Yeah no pint made buddy… The Thunder, the team with the best record in the NBA btw, lost to the Wizards with all their team intact… so did the Lakers… Do some research before you try and call anyone out… and read the last post… You are the one who can’t admit that Howard is a problem wherever he goes. Stan even said after the game that he should of went deeper down the bench. We will see what happens on Friday… A star doesn’t win championships, teams do…
Magicman
As you always like to say for everything that you don’t agree with (or really you just don’t want to accept the truth)…”do some research!”. Here is your research son. You will get a free glimpse at the Orlando Magic without Dwight Howard. Enjoy and learn from your “research”.
Are you stupid or do you just not know how to read? I NEVER said the Magic were better without Howard. I said they are not as bad as you say they are and Howard is trouble where ever he goes. When you get some education we will continue this discussion… Once again “My point was that they are not as bad you say they are. When Howard isn’t demanding the ball and clogging up the lane it opens the floor. That’s just common basketball sense. Another point I was making is that if they traded him they do have bargaining chips to still get a competitive team in return that Stan will be able to take to a championship. If they keep Howard, do not look for a banner to be hung in Orlando anytime soon.”
Howard is trying to rebuild his character, but I think it maybe a ploy. If the Magic trade him they will be a better team… If they keep him it will be a circus again next year…
Sure you don’t want to play another race card? I’ll be waiting your weak response…
Listen kid, you are the idiot here. Suggesting I do “research” and “know my facts”. Wait and see how they do the rest of the year without Howard. Nelson, Turkoglu, J-Rich, Big Baby, Ryan Anderson, Duhon. It’s a joke of a team. Not only a joke, but a joke with no future. And this whole conversation started with me criticizing Bernucca for a completely one-sided and biased piece of garbage column. I have yet to talk to any of my NBA fan friends who doesn’t think SVG was completely out of his mind for doing what he did. He either disclosed confidential information and screwed someoene or made something up and competely disrupted the team. He is the coach. His job is to manage his players. The fact that you think SVG is more meaningful to the Magic than Howard tells me everything I need to know. That you don’t know squat. You are just a bitter tea partier (I paid my taxes!!! duh!) as far as I can tell. I really don’t care about you or the Magic. I’m not a fan. I was just pointing out how biased the column was and then you stuck your nose in something that doesn’t pertain to you. So move along, pay your taxes in a couple of days and enjoy your putrid franchise.
What makes you think I’m a kid? Assume much? Like I care what you and your uneducated NBA friends think? Your points are weak and you back everything you say with opinions… So yeah… go educate yourself… Once again you missed the whole point I made, which doesn’t surprise me… and if you didn’t want anyone to comment back you should of just keep your mouth shut… duh… or maybe you don’t know what posting comments was for… Yeah you threw a race card up on Chris, with no facts… only assumptions… Get over yourself and go back to paying taxes… as you say… Maybe next time you will keep your racist comments to yourself… You are so lame… funny how it’s always the racist people blaming race… Wake up or go back to PR… Remember you came here… we never asked for you to come… so either deal with people of all color or pack your bags loser…
And how am I a racist? Go back to PR???? Talk about assuming. Listen, I can tell quite a bit about you by your posts alone and unfortunatley none of it is too flattering. You probably haven’t finished high school (either because you dropped out or because you are still a kid). So I assumed the best and called you a kid. My bad. Go back to flipping burgers now. It’s embarrassing that I am having this discussion with you to begin with. You have made no points of any relevance or inteligence. All you have given is your opinions. You have stated no facts. Wait to see how Orlando plays without Howard, and then we will have facts to point to. Done with you. Not responding anymore. It truly is beneath me. I wanted Chris to tell me how he could see no fault with SVG and he couldn’t. I don’t need to argue the merits or Orlando without Howard with a pea-brain fan like yourself. Good day to you sir and I hope you educate yourself. And I don’t mean about basketball.
You’re a joke… and by the way I run my own production company in Orlando. I have my education in business, music and basketball. I gave several basketball FACTS that you clearly didn’t see, but Chris did… I’m also very well educated in basketball because I was on my high school team. You made racist comments and even Chris saw it… So go back under your rock, and voice your racists opinions (chubby white guy & young black man) to yourself. I guess it was too hard for a racist like you to call Stan a man too? Maybe when you finish your education you will learn to read character through writing… but I doubt you will get that far… You didn’t mention one thing about basketball “the game”, only about speculative management situations… Wonder why that is… now run on home…
