Dwight Howard is finally back into the Houston swing and from the dunk fest he had last night. It seems that there was no rust from him. It’s seems that it’s full steam ahead for the Rockets. But for some reason, as most people like to point out these days. Dwight started to talk about his relationship with James Harden. According to Ben Golliver of Sports Illustrated, they’re not exactly BFF’s.
“We’re not super close but we do talk, we sit down, we have conversations,” Howard said of Harden. “I’ve never had any issue with James. The biggest reason for me to come to Houston was to play alongside James. I knew I made [the right decision] when I first made it, watching him play and now how he’s grown as a player and a person. It’s great to watch. I came to win. There’s no ego with me, it’s not about me. It’s about us, what we can do together. I’ve won all the individual awards, besides the MVP, and at this point all that stuff is irrelevant. What’s more important is us coming together to win a championship.
Why is it that NBA players today feel the need to give a relationship status between themselves? Kevin Love and LeBron James love to talk about each other. And now Dwight is opening up. It’s fine when you say it if you’ve left the team or you’re retired. As a matter of fact it’s interesting when they dish the dirt. But why make it look like a “just business” relationship? I don’t get that.
