Just reading the Twitter link I feel so bad for Dwight Howard, one nutter lies online and he’s received hate and mockery on an unprecedented level...no matter what you think of Howard personally the guy is essentially a model citizen and doesn’t deserve this treatment. The petty way Shaq has acted towards Howard I’m sure has contributed to it, the guy was an NBA legend in the making if it wasn’t for a devastating back injury, I wish nothing but the best for him.

Model citizen?  Someone hasn't been paying attention for the last 10 years.

Gouki answered for me.  What I was talking about was the fact that he's been a horrible teammate who other players hate playing with and coaches generally don't enjoy coaching.  But here's a little something illegal that doesn't imply that he's a "model citizen."  His drivers license was suspended in Florida for blowing through 10 red lights and 12 toll booths without paying.  Nothing too serious but definitely not model citizen behavior.

The fact that Charlotte, Houston, and Atlanta have all been happy when he's walked out the door makes me skeptical he can be a positive for a team.

On the court he's clearly a great option to soak whatever minutes AD doesn't play at the 5. He can still defend and rebound the ball, its just that his offense, attitude, and injuries have made him a negative/nothing.

My apologies I was unaware of that, my general point is that he receives way to much criticism in comparison to his actions.
