Once again, how is this relevant when its only non Rockets fans saying this?:jbhmm:



Y'all really that caring that you feel our pain huh?:mjlol:
Rockets fans have definitely complained about this too, and do you think general fans like when an athlete is celebrating losses?? Dwight is not the first guy to get killed over that

I knew it. That nikka Dwight Curved you and you caught feelings:laff:

You turned into a male groupie and was on some dikkriding shyt and he embarrassed you in front of some bytches. This is where your dislike of him stems from :laff:

Look i know you have no friends and don't go anywhere but its customary to thank someone who is throwing a gathering. He didn't embarrass me, he embarrassed himself by being a ronnie lott like cornball in front of women.

You gotta stop being jealous of me lil mama. I can feel the hurt in your posts, you thought them steroids would make people like you but they just turned you into a bigger loser. Its okay life is harsh hug me don't reject me or make posts to disrespect me :umad:

That's true, but I have definitely seen tons of Rockets fans who are over Dwight at this point..none of them want him to re-sign. I don't hate Dwight personally, was mad when he left but don't really care. It is annoying though seeing him play and how if he stops whining, he can impact the game. But this guy always picks up silly fouls in the first Q and misses half of the game.

Certified cornball brother. Ate a cookie off his own face. Laughs at his own jokes; no one else does. Does terrible impressions with a stupid-nikka-grin plastered across his face. Tried to snake SVG, then put his arms around him in front of the media like the bytch nikka his is. Retrospectively threw his teammates under the bus when he left Orlando, some of whom had been friends and expressed shock at his bytchassness. Got by on sheer size during an era when the center position was incredibly weak. Assumed a posture and swagger of dominance when he was really just "very good." Never really improved. Rode Shaq so much he sharked his whole steez, then acted like a sad ho when Shaq rejected him. Got sonned out by Tim Duncan, who scoffed at him like the incorrigible brat he is. Is a high profile multi-millionaire but fukks pimple-faced teens who work at McDonalds. Is always a champion in his own mind, despite how pathetic he or his team fare in the playoffs. Is a phony religious goofball.

I'm stopping here because I could type for five more minutes, easily.

I think at this point it's gone far beyond Laker/Kobe fans hating on him. I personally don't even hate Dwight and posted a week or so ago how I think he's become underrated. I think people don't fukk with the goofy personality. That combined with the injuries of late making him not as dangerous on the court and people are coming out of the woodworks to pile on while he's down. I think if he was still playing like he was back in his Orlando days people would still fukk with him heavy.

Lakers are by far the biggest and most influential fanbase in the sport. You are pretty reasonable, most fans aren't. Most fans are followers who just parrot what they hear. He went against what was expected by leaving the Lakers and people don't respond well to going against what is expected. That said, I think it is more so about the bolded. We've seen a strong personality and/or rep cover for all types of things.

It's just frustration with him. He could be so great if he would just try hard. That's what's most frustrating. He had the ability to be one of the best centers of all time based off physical gifts.
this is the answer


in a league where nikkas are killing themselves trying to win a ring... he out here fooling around, halfway not even caring, barely trying, and laughing about it all like "oh well i'm still a winner"


white people let kobe off on raping white bytches cause his will to win

dwight is the DIRECT opposite of that

Trust me I hate a lot of the Laker fans too and know that a lot of us play a big part in the Dwight perception. There is also a lot of Laker haters out too. And from what I've been seeing a lot of the same people that were laughing at the Lakers for losing Dwight are the same ones shytting on Dwight now and saying any team that picks him up would be idiots. Folks have to look at the Rockets scheme and how little Dwight touches the ball as well as the fact that a lot of his rest is just being cautious. Come playoff time there is no back to backs and as we've all seen the last few years Dwight can turn it up.

And you are dead on. Folks want that conventional chest pounding alpha dog and can't take that he's smiling and not acting all super serious so assume he doesn't care at all. Shame that folks can't get past all that.

I don't think he's ever been the same since that back surgery.

His play reminds me of the robbing of David Robinson's offensive skills by to a similar procedure performed on his back.

Norfeast groovin…
- Tried to be a fake ass Shaq when he was nothing more than a middle class man's Ben Wallace
- Only people tryna be funny that couldn't make me laugh were Key & Peele, Nick Cannon, and Dwight Howard. I hate people that try hard as hell to be funny but are horrible at it shyt is annoying as fukk. :russ: :snoop:
- Blasphemed against the one shooting gawd
- Trained under Ewing, Hakeem, etc and still has hardly any offensive game.
- Was the top center when the center position was at its worse which says a lot about where he stands overall.
