Derrick Rose on Dwight Howard: ‘Who Wouldn’t Want to Play With Him?’

another reporter showing how Dwight called out his teammates through the media, but if you dont have a problem with it who am I to try to instill what a teammate should be into you? I donnt give two sh!ts about you, it wouldnt bother me none if you got hit by a bus tomorrow, or do us all a favor and go play in traffic.

“everything you have put forth I have torn asunder” – lol thank you, that is awesome. Hahahaha

NBK, I really do believe you are blind to everything that’s out there. You are basically saying that EVERYONE is making up these stories and Dwight isn’t saying anything? Didn’t Craig Sager have an interview with him earlier in the year and he kept calling him out on his contradictory statements? I understand you are a fan of his but to just blatantly disregard everything that’s out there and say “We’re being too sensitive”, “It’s not affecting the Magic players” when it CLEARLY is affecting them makes you look dumb to be honest.

You also still don’t seem to get that just because the things Howard is saying about his team are true that it’s OK to do. It’s not! I believe I’ve said this three times now so I don’t understand why it isn’t sinking in. Or maybe you’re one of the 2% that think it’s not being a bad teammate to say these things publicly. I don’t know

Hi there, long-time slam-online observer (basically from the start) and i just want to say one thing: Its funny how NBK is now the Mr.Knowitall of this site. I remember a few years back when he first showed up, talking all crazy and everyone else would just ignore him or treat him like a kid. Now though, he is everywhere, acts like he knows everything, talks like he knows everything and is very disrespectful to anyone that is not agreeing with him. Its funny, really……… Or not, man, i miss the days of russ bengstson and myles brown!! Now we have NBK as the commentors king….. dear lord!

Justin, I have never said the Dwight drama isn’t affecting the players. I said what Dwight has been saying, with his words, is not what is bothering the team. The media attention and uncertainties about if they will still be Magic players in a couple months is definitely affecting them however. As for what Backboard and Hillbilly wrote, you clearly don’t understand the history behind me and shutup and the vitriol he has aimed at me in the past. Other then that I am not rude to people for just giving their opinion, and I am not picking arguments. This right here is the third page for the third day in a row shutup has picked an argument with me a d then revisited topics I have already explained to him. Like I’m about to do now. Woj and butcher are reporters shutup, yes. Does that make everything they write completely accurate? No. All of the columns in question are centered around the statements Dan Fegan made in the comment I posted above. He never says Howard was on the phone with the Mets, he clearly says “I most definitely had contacts with the teams I was given permission to speak too” – saying Howard took part in that conversation is speculation, in the least. Idk why your so stuck on that part of all of this. Dwight wants to be traded. Dwight isn’t talking about it too the media. Dwight isn’t the one spreading rumors. And that is all I have been saying.

Wow though I LOVE a healthy bball debate… Y’all are goin at it like it’s your millions on the table…Why the name calling@ Shutup..can’t you jsut argue your tenet and make a point? without all that?

I hope he wasn’t on the phone with the Mets. I don’t think he could find a bat big enough for him but it sure would be the biggest strike zone in history.

Sorry NBK, but that is far from the truth. There is evidence of that on here daily. The beef with “Shutup” is not the only example. Maybe being compared to the most arrogant and rude (while knowledgeable, like you) guy in Slams History – Eboy – would make one think about how they are perceived by others……

Do I speak up when I disagree? Yes. Is that ‘picking an argument’ – in a sense yes I guess. But i’m not telling people they are wrong unless they give a false fact.

quick act like you matter as some kind of judge of character. – or quick, act aloof after you just showed that you do care by expressing you displeasure. Wait nevermind, do both! haha what’a joke.

I don’t call anyone stupid or an idiot unless it’s you, or someone that tries to degrade my intelligence first. I used to be the guy that called EVERYONE stupid. EVERYONE. But I learned from that, don’t do it anymore, unless you have insulted me. — And me saying a comment that I feel makes perfect sense (my opinion) is not instigating. It’s me giving my opinion. You responding “shutup Posted: Jan.31 at 11:54 am
@NBK d!ckhead” unprovoked, is instigating.

When I said that he believes everything is cute? lol, I don’t think I really offended him. Never called him stupid, or an idiot. Once again, your not making any sense.

Banana Chocolate Cupcake? Where in the world? — And I already told him 40 times I just find his reaction to be overly sensitive. i thought the rest was already hashed out. Then there was the little nbk hatefest that happened early this morning, which was entertaining while I rode out (in a passenger seat) to BFE for work and had nothing to do for 40 minutes at 6AM. So thanks for that y’all.
