Yeah he said that he didn't want to play second fiddle to Kobe for 3-4 more seasons and was not featured enough in the D'antoni system.

Along with somebody named Kobe Bryant.Howard didn't want to play second fiddle as stated before.If it doesn't work out in Houston he will have no excuses this time.I still say if Shaq had stayed in Orlando they would have been the team of the millennium everything was in place but egos got in the way.

Howard would have had half a season to establish himself in LA with Kobe recovering from his injury. Now he will be second fiddle to Hardin in Houston.

He wanted to be a big fish in a small pond just like Orlando.

There is probably some truth to that but I believe Houston is the 5th largest metropolitan area in the US.

Yes Houston is among the biggest but in terms of the metros but in terms of athletic reputation LA is much bigger.Orlando is no slouch in terms of size.This guy does not know what he wants.Now he had better make this work.

It is, but there's no where near the pressure that exists in LA, Houston is a small big town. And also it's better for him with his 6 baby mamas.

I think Orlando is in the 20's for metro size so it's relatively small in comparison.

True on the pressure. He would have gotten chewed up and spit out in cities like Boston or Philly (which is close to the same size as Houston) but Houston has a different vibe so he might be better off there.

when he was on Orlando he bitched about being the only star and the small market.

Get to la and he bitches about having another star and it being to big.

Second fiddle to Kobe. Dude didn't want to try or play hard and Kobe called him out. He then pouted the rest of the season like a little girl. Good luck with that BS Houston.

Dwight Howard would be a great owner of the Oakland Raiders.
