Best bet for Howard is to sign with Cleveland, and we sign nothin but shooters. We win the title, he becomes a hero in Cleveland, he doesnt have to deal with big market media, win win for us all

u know what i cant even hate on this
D12 goes to CLE -he would be looked at differently due to bron leaving CLE


then in 2 yrs when bron contract is completed -bron decides to go back to CLE to win dat chip he couldnt

Exactly. Too many people think that alpha male=ass hole or bully. A true alpha male doesn't have to tell people or try to prove that he is an alpha male.

real talk

all i remeber hearing all these media dikkheads talk about bron vs wade "2 alpha males cant coexist

bron quickly put that shyt to rest

He could've shot this down if he wanted to. All he had to do is tell LA he only staying for one year.

Better yet he could've opted out and night re up last year and be playing in Brooklyn right now. WHO the fukk his this guys agent and WHO the fukk is giving this nikka advice.

Brooklyn isn't even an option for him anymore. Brook Lopez is playing better than Dwight this year even though that's an inconvenient truth.

Fixed. Dwight is clearly a bytch though. :heh: They are opposing extremes. Kobe always tryna prove hes the man and how he runs shyt. Dwight always tryna be everyones friend. shyt is like the fukkin real life Odd Couple. :russ:

The question is, how the fukk did it get this far this fast? Like dude mentioned earlier, Shaq and Kobe were together for YEARS before it blew up.

You should've posted the entire article. It's fukking insane, they're just shytting on each other blatantly.

"We have to play like we like each other. Even if we don't want to be friends off the court, whatever that may be, when we step in between the lines or we step in the locker room or the gym, we have to respect each other and what we bring to the table.

"It really starts off the court. I think you have to have that relationship and that chemistry off the court for it to really blossom on the court. It takes time to develop that. You just don't come together and then expect to be best friends right away. It just doesn't happen like that."

The topic came up because of Howard's complimentary comments about the Clippers after Friday's game, and a strange play in which Lakers forward Jordan Hill injured his ankle, rolled around in pain on the ground, but none of his teammates came over to check on him.


When asked to compare the still-developing dynamic between himself and Howard to the run he had with O'Neal, Bryant laughed.

"That was a different dynamic. Shaq and I were a different dynamic," Bryant said. "That type of duo, you're not going to find another duo like that ever. There were other duos that were better than us, (Scottie) Pippen and (Michael) Jordan. But you'll never find a duo with two dominant personalities like myself and Shaquille. That was kind of a once-in-a-lifetime thing."

Looking back on those years, Bryant said he's amazed the peace held as long as it did.

"That just wasn't going to last," he said, laughing. "You have too many alpha males. What do you think would happen if you put Jordan with Wilt? It's just not going to happen."

So can two alpha males ever coexist long enough to win titles?

"We did. We won three straight," Bryant said, referencing the Lakers' three-peat from 2000-02. "One of them has to sacrifice. I sacrificed quite a bit with individual numbers and MVPs and NBA Finals and all this other stuff.

"Phil (Jackson) used to come to us as a team and let me take over in the march to the Finals. Then in the Finals against Eastern Conference teams that didn't have any centers, we went through Shaq. Those are things I was willing to sacrifice. You have to have that sacrifice to make that dynamic work."

Asked again how that compares to the dynamic with Howard, Bryant said: "It's not the same thing. On that team, it was me and Shaq and role players, who were excellent role players. Here, it's me, Dwight, Steve and Pau (Gasol). We play to each other's strengths. Steve is the best facilitating guard. Pau is the best facilitating big man. The ball goes through those guys, and it allows them to make everybody better. It's really that simple."

When told of Bryant's quotes, characterizing himself as sacrificing during the O'Neal era, Howard asked for clarification.

"He took a back seat?" Howard asked. "I was super young, so I really don't remember too much from those championship runs."

Howard was then asked if he thought he had the same kind of alpha male personality as O'Neal.

"You can't look at it as the alpha male. It's basketball. We're not a pack of wolves," Howard said.

"There's different ways to lead a team. Sometimes you have to follow to learn how to lead. I've done an excellent job with guys of being somebody they can all come to if they have a problem.

"But if they're not working the way they need to work, I'm the guy that will tell 'em, 'Hey, you need to get in the weight room or get some extra shots up.' That's where I come in. I don't have to bark about it to you guys (reporters) or to the team."

Howard then explained what his definition of an "alpha male" is.

"If you're an alpha male, you don't have to always show that you're the alpha male," he said. "Just be who you are. You come in the room, people know you're there.

"My presence is felt every day, and I don't have to come here and growl and snarl at people. I don't have to do all that."

Instead, he said he tries to create a happy, enjoyable work environment.

"(My teammates) like when I come in, have fun and enjoy myself. Because they want to have fun and enjoy themselves, too," Howard said. "If they can't do it, it's not a great working environment.

"I don't think you guys would want to come into work with a boss that's always telling you what to do. If you see the boss being at ease and having fun doing it, then you're going to have fun doing that. That's who I am. I've been an alpha male my whole life, but I don't go pissing everywhere to show people that I'm an alpha male. I just need to be who I am."

Wow. Dwight is saying so much in this article if you read between the lines. 1 of them has to go come July. DH is basically saying Kobe ain't the kinda nikka you want to be on a team with and that he isn't a good leader because nobody wants to be around him. If i'm a Laker fan I suddenly have the runs right now.

Kobe was a young buck when they first got together. I would imagine that things would have been better, at first at least, if Dwight had been a young buck when he joined Kobe.

They're not winning games & D'Antoni doesn't know how to use that tension to make both players productive the way Phillip did when Shaq was in LA

The most obvious reason is Dwight isn't as dominant as Shaq

the moment the nets signed him killed any chance. then they sign joe johnson. they can't afford him. Howard will probably end up in atlanta.


the problem I have with howard is he's not a player you can build around. he doesn't have the ability to take over a game or put a team on his back. But, that's how he gets treated but the media and the fans.
