Vince Carter is on to something here. Dwight Howard has been called a lot of things during his time in the NBA. With the Orlando Magic, he was a savior, superstar, cornerstone and, by the end, quintessential jackass. With the Los Angeles Lakers he was God, Satan and a coward. With the Houston Rockets he’s [...]

Out of frustration the other night, Dwight Howard tossed the ball at a heckling fan as the Rockets were in Dallas. It was a soft lob and nothing malicious. Even so, who does that? But I’ll give Dwight a pass, because fans have the green light to be mean-spirited at games, but if the athlete [...]

This is new. Dwight Howard was given a technical foul last night because he threw the ball at a heckling fan during a game in Dalls vs. the Mavericks.

We are only 11 games into the season, but after a 3-8 start, we are in full panic-mode regarding the Knicks. The team has been stung by the injury bug already and the defense has left a lot to be desired. And because Mike Woodson is a defensive-minded coach, that’s not good news for him. [...]

Rajon Rondo is staying right where he is. For now. The Boston Celtics All-Star point guard has been linked to a variety of trade rumors over the last year or so. Most recently, the New York Knicks tried to get in on the action, reportedly dangling a package comprising Amar’e Stoudemire, Raymond Felton and Iman [...]

Not only does Dwight Howard have a bunch of critics to silence in Houston, but he also has to impress Hakeem Olajuwon who is mentoring him. Hakeem arguably had the best footwork of any big man in the post, and no one ever accused Dwight of being a polished back-to-the-basket player. That spells trouble. Apparently, [...]

The downside about being a famous athlete is that your life plays out for everyone to see. Dwyane Wade went through a pretty public divorce a few years ago and it’s unfortunate because there are two children involved. But apparently, Wade isn’t shying away from his personal life. In fact, he wants to make it [...]
