I am sure Lakers Fans, Lakers Haters, casual fans and the media will be glad when this is over. I don’t think Dwight Howard is mentally tough enough to stay with the Lakers and these latest comments leaked by his yes men, just strengthens that opinion.
“People close to [Howard] say he’s still leery of Kobe Bryant, a big sign of immaturity, as well as down on [Coach] Mike D’Antoni, keeping his record perfect since he’s been down on previous coaches,” writes former Times columnist Mark Heisler for LakersNation.com.
To be fair a lot of people are leery of D’Antoni, so I can see how that could be a concern. Kobe is not going to be there forever and to be honest, Dwight could learn a thing or two about work ethic from Kobe.
In the end, I think he runs away from the spotlight and signs with the Rockets.
