It seems there are more Dwight Howard haters out there this summer than there were three years ago when there were so many millions of LeBron James haters.
Maybe that’s just because so much of the venom is coming from Los Angeles, where the fans are spoiled because no one ever leaves the Lakers. Players always want to join the Lakers.
My opinion? STFU, haters.
Dwight Howard is an American, and all Americans have a right to choose where they want to work. It’s just that in the NBA, it usually takes years to earn that right if you happen to be a superstar.
More on that line of defense in this podcast with Tommy Dee and Moke Hamilton of SNY.

Here is why people hate howard. He throw teammates under the bus,(ask ryan howared or jameer)… throws coaches under the bus. Now, deron did that, too, and i hate him as well. Howard though isnt a guy who has ever demonstrated a desire to get better. He ‘s actually gotten worse. But its the fact that he inspires little respect. Thats all. Who respects howard? And for what? His skills are limted…he’s just athletically big and quick…gifted. He does well based on this, but his skills are limited nonetheless. People can make excuses, and argue he’s actually really skilled etc. But he’s not. His skills are average at best. So…..hate? yeah, he’s not a guy anyone admires and for a jillionaire to always be complaining….and he DOES complain…..well, its not an attractive attribute.
