you know deep down hes dying to be in LA the lime light the celebs but the whole Shaq thing is holdin him back. What a dumbass mov to call yourself superman

Thing is he wasn't actually calling himself Superman at first. He just did that thing at the Dunk contest and everybody else ran with it so Dwight was like and went with it too.


Shaq was/is just being an emotional bytch (again) about some ole small shyt.

I don't put too much stock in the whole "He doesn't want to follow in Shaq's footsteps" bullshyt. That sounds like something fabricated by the sports media (that is notoriously pro-Shaq).

Los Angeles Dodgers‏@Dodgers

Dwight Howard receives loud applause when put up on Dodger Vision. We can confirm he is a "very large" Dodger fan.

@forumbluegold
Does Dwight know they're no longer the Brooklyn Dodgers?

Dwight Howard was wearing an L.A. Dodger hat as he left the stadium but was surrounded by a dozen security officers as he got in his car.

DH was wearing a Dodgers and when he got to car one of his handlers saw fans were taking pics and snatched hat off DH head

Tried asking DH a ? while we walkd and one of his handlers started yelling "NO NO NO"

The fans that were around DH car kept yelling for him to sign with Lakers. DH smiled and waved to fans.

So what did Ebanks do in Vegas? i was here earlier and Ebanks was getting on a jet to go to Vegas. I'm sure he doesn't have enough money to get the jet himself and the Lakers sent it for him, why did they want him in Vegas so quick?

some random on lakers forum

On other news:

Im glad Grant Hill is not signing with us, i really dont want another old nikka in the squad. No to Jermaine Oneal as well We need some young athletic players off that bench, Jamison and Jordan Hill will be enough for the frontline.

Darius Morris in Summer League game today went 9-for-9. 24 points. 4 assists. 25 minutes.

I guess he's not such a bum after all?

its the summer league...and they still lost...

If we dont get Jordan Hill back...we oughta make a push to get Andray Blatche...that is if nobody picks him up off waivers.

Dude played in Washington...they had prolly the worst atmosphere for a club that i've seen since the 09 Nets...plus he's had to deal with injuries. I like Hill but he's pretty overated among Lakers fans. Dude only played like 7 regular season games last season...and now he's essential to our team? I think not...Sure we need to sign a big...Hill is a great option...but Andray Blatche is a talented player we could also get for cheap. He's had more success in the league...I'll take him over Hill anyday if they goin for close to the same price.

Highly doubt blatche will clear waivers anyways, someone will pick him up.

Yeah thats what I was sayin myself...I think he would be a great addition to most teams...If by miracle teams do pass on him I think that would be a prime opportunity for the 'Show.

This has no bearing on the actual squad, but the Lakers have been getting their asses handed to them in Summer League. Kind of disappointed in our younger players.

nah hes scared to follow in shaq footsteps. scared of havin pressure on him. scared of not being able to get it done. scared of upsetting too many people. scared to lose shoe money. scared to be 2nd fiddle. he's just a scared bytch.
Drew may not give a fukk but at least he aint scared as Dwight.

Stephen A Smith: "Dwight told me its not about Kobe, but having to live up to all the legacies and expectations..he wants a clean slate"

smh..fukk this dude
