He's a reckless young lad and actually hasn't had much NBA minutes (about half of what Davis has). It will come around if he can stay healthy

If Dwight Howard does not win a ring (which he won't) I think he is going to be the most interesting HoF debate out of the current batch of likely HoF players.

e: That's not totally true, he could totally win a ring in the twilight of his career as a traveling assassin.

I thought he'd be a shoo-in even amongst strange and contrarian sportswriters.

Guys like Andre Miller, Jason Terry, Tyson Chandler. Now there's a debate.

It doesn't matter if many or most don't view the word posse with negative connotations. We(well I do anyway) live in a country where many people don't view loving Chief Wahoo, or the term Redskins as having negative connotations.

Context matters. Phil Jackson has a history of being dismissive and demeaning to Lebron and his business partners. Lebron James and Maverick Carter called him out on it which is the correct thing to do.

Oh and also Evan. This isn't all I do in regards to my politics and community service btw, this is just me having fun on an internet forum.


This happened while I was knocked out(woo taking Vicodin and Valium for back pain) and I saw MV's post so I'll eat a probation if need be. But I wanted to respond and am 100% done with this topic after this.
