Instead, he says the exchange had to do with confusion over whether it was supposed to be him or Blake Griffin involved with a play.

“Pop was diagramming a play for me, and then as he showed us what to do he kept saying, ‘Blake,’” Howard said according to the LA Times. “So Blake and I are confused, but he keeps saying Blake, so Blake takes off his jersey and goes into the game.

“Pop sees me and wants to know why I’m not in the game running the play, so I tell him he kept saying Blake so Blake went in. He wasn’t swearing at me.”

kind of lol mostly sad

media quotes dwight, diwght accuses media of twisting his words http://www.latimes.com/sports/basketball/nba/lakers/la-sp-lakers-fyi-20130307,0,5226872.story

"He got away with a shot," Howard said, according to Yahoo! Sports. "I will remember this game. I will remember that shot. He said he wasn't trying to do it. You can look at the play and see it for yourself. I will take care of it later."

"I can shoot the ball from anywhere. I've just got to have confidence in myself," Howard said.

Dwight Howard to voice cartoon turkey in time-traveling turkey movie

Two turkeys from opposite sides of the tracks must put aside their differences and team up to travel back in time to change the course of history - and get turkey off the holiday menu for good.

dwight is a genuinely weird dude

weird dude energy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JweSut18OeM

Please please please don't go to the Warriors

warriors could be a contender w dwight man

dwight should go to cbs on wednesdays at 8:30, do something family-friendly, follow his bliss.

dwight's a jesus dude, iirc, mark jackson might be able to get him to harness his talent more effectively.

dwight has harnessed his talent extremely effectively up to this point

dwight's a jesus dude w/ 8 children by 8 diff't women iirc

dwight thread needs every post to begin with 'dwight'

aldwight, is how its going so far

@MySportsLegion: A Houston adult store is offering Dwight Howard free condoms for life if he signs with the Rockets.”

there's something he actually needs

haha

@WojYahooNBA Holed away in Colorado, the Lakers are still prominent in Dwight Howard's mind, sources tell Y! Rockets remain strong, Warriors lurking.

what's happening here in this tweet, it weirds me out

the poetic woj

what r the lakers doing in colorado, not the best state for them

some nice lakes there

source cause there were some fake woj accounts posting this

xp ok yeah

This covers it in one tweet.
Raquel Willis on Dwight

well that doesn't cover the actual story.....

eventually these idiots are going to learn that everyone knows how to save receipts

It covers the perspective people seem to be missing in their rush to use the word tranny.

:////////////////////////////////////

I hope Dwight gets what he’s due for being an abusive threatening asshole. I don’t give two shits who he fucks as long as he doesn’t try to fuck them over

having yr goons threaten someones life, thats bad

Yeah

the ineptitude is.....exactly what i would expect from people who associate with dwight howard

Tried to figure out what the hell was going on via Twitter, got subjected to an endless stream of terrible homophobic/transphobic garbage way to go America

Tried to figure out what the hell was going on via Twitter, got subjected to an endless stream of terrible homophobic/transphobic garbage way to go America

Same

I need an explain like I’m five ... and also not an asshole homophobe.

the very short version is:

trans woman claims she was in an exclusive relationship with dwight, ended it when it was no longer very exclusive on his end, began getting shady anonymous messages involving bribes then threats, traced them back to dwight’s ppl including his “pastor,” saved a variety of electronic evidence along the way.

some ppl on twitter saying this same person tried to out playboi carti and it turned out to be fake but idk

the thing about the secret phone number reveling app does seem kinda sus

yeah. i cannot vouch for any of the electronic evidence presented.

yes, altho to clarify the accuser in this case is a gay man

So was this all fake or what?

i guess? i didnt see anything conclusive but no news sites touched it

interesting timing on the back surgery. out 3-4 months, essentially out for the year. career likely in jeopardy i would think.

it's been quite the misadventure

Dwight is such an inimitable and curiously indescribable figure, i was trying to explain his downfall the other night to someone..."well see he was legitimately great, considered to be likable, and then he went to the Laker and got on Kobe's bad side and started telling dad jokes..."

i couldn't do it past that point.

lmao

the candy addiction is crucial imo

i guess i could call him a controversy-free* Alex Rodriguez, and somehow the gulf between his desperation to be liked and the reality is even more enormous than A-Rod's.

he's never had a major scandal one can point to, he just shows up with a new franchise and walks into the locker room cracking jokes with his teammates and putting up 16/12 and pretty soon rumors are out that he's going to be fragged on the next road trip.

(*we'll see what occurs with this recent business)

god i always forget about the candy thing

the candy addiction is just idk its perfect?

has dwight been watching demolition man or

someone online said he's turned into bobby digital and that seemed otm

Dwight Howard said he bought a purple car because he was inspired by Thanos and the sacrifices he had to make to accomplish his goal. Man.

lmao

Dwight Howard tried to coin a nickname for the Lakers' second unit tonight: "The Bad News Bears. Not the Bad News Bears in a bad way, but 'we're gonna bring bad news to the other team.' That type of bad news."

— Kyle Goon (@kylegoon) November 4, 2019

he was so good against the spurs. he'll be starting soon. the lbj-ad-dwight frontcourt is so huge and athletic.

Dwight Howard is no longer eating 'McDonald's, chicken wings and honey buns every single day'

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/dwight-howard-is-no-longer-eating-mc-donalds-chicken-wings-and-honey-buns-every-single-day-161434689.html

he stopped eating candy but then it took him another 5 years to not eat mcdonalds every day

i swear he has the same set of quotes every season just a slight variation on each one

Why am I not surprised this dumbass already got pinched for not wearing a mask

lol seems like easy money in retrospect

dwight just generally not big on prophylactics

Lol. If you count the farts too my mans got a real problem with expelling

he's batman now

Sam Amick: "Dwight Howard apparently liked my idea of going with the "Batman" moniker in this series where he has bullied the "Joker."

"Batman's coming for you, Joker!" he yelled at Nikola Jokic from the bench three times near the end of the first quarter..."

lmao
