http://0rz.tw/7KQ9j Dwight Howard has alienated everybody he ever knew in Orlando He owes entire city an apology Congratulations, Dwight Howard. You have now done the impossible. You have pretty much alienated everybody you ever knew in Orlando. The fans who once poured their hearts, souls and disposable income into you are irate because you lied to them about your "love" and "loyalty" to the city. 恭喜你，Dwight 你完成了不可能的事，這些當初把他們的心跟靈魂都交給你的奧蘭多球迷們，因為你 "愛"與"忠誠"的謊言，現在對你只剩下厭惡。 The kids who once idolized you can't stand you because you stiffed them by blowing off your own youth basketball camp before bailing out and high-tailing it to the West Coast. Your former coach Stan Van Gundy and former general manager Otis Smith -- two decent men who had your back at every turn – are surely disappointed in the way you threw them under the bus and cost them their seven-figure jobs. And, sadly and pathetically, you've even lost the respect of your former Magic teammates – a bunch of good guys who you once called your "family" but now have denigrated and minimized into a "a team full of people nobody wanted." 當初為了鬧離隊而未出席籃球營的風波傷害那些視你為偶像的孩子們。還有曾經總是做你後盾的前GM Otis & Manager SVG. 也失去了前隊友們的尊重，那些你曾稱為是一個"family"的團隊，現在只是你口中所謂"一群沒人想要的球員"。 "I always tell people, 'Hey, my team in Orlando was a team full of people who nobody wanted, and I was the leader and I led that team with a smile on my face," Howard said in an interview earlier this week with an L.A. television reporter. Is anybody shocked that Dwight, who in recent years has surrounded himself with an army of bootlickers and brownnosers, believes the world revolves around him and only him? Is anybody surprised that Dwight is convinced that nobody else except his three favorite people -- me, myself and I -- had anything to do with the success of the Magic during his eight years with the franchise? 有人對Dwight在LA電視專訪說的話感到震驚嗎？對DH來說，這對象除了三個人以外：me, myself and I. His former teammates certainly aren't. "At some point, when are you [Dwight], as a man, going to take ownership and stay out of the media in a professional manner?" Howard's former best friend, Magic point guard Jameer Nelson said when asked about Howard's demeaning comments. "It's disrespectful," former Magic player Rashard Lewis said of Dwight's comments. "We helped Dwight become the player he was. We made a good run. Hell, look at those (conference and division) banners hanging in the stands. They don't say Dwight Howard on them..." Former Magic player J.J. Redick probably put it best in an interview with ESPN: "I'm not surprised by it. ... I would be more surprised when Dwight starts taking responsibility. … You can't take all the credit and not accept any of the blame." You can if you're Dwight, the arrogant, egotistical brat who has never once apologized or held himself accountable for the deplorable, duplicitous way he left Orlando. You know he must be a petty, back-stabbing boor when classy, mild-mannered players like Nelson, Redick and Lewis are taking shots at him from locker rooms all over the country. Howard, as you might expect, refuses to take any of the blame for his demeaning words and is frenetically flip-flopping as he has done so many times before. He's even resorted to his favorite excuse – blaming the media for "twisting and turning" his words and blowing the whole thing "out of proportion." Sort of reminds me of the day Dwight tried to blame the media for making up the story that he tried to get Van Gundy fired. Remember how he looked like the biggest dope in America as he stood there dumbfounded – like the emperor with no clothes -- as the media told him Van Gundy himself had confirmed the story? "My statement was just to say that our team that I played with in Orlando, we were the underdogs," Howard said as he tried to lie, cry and deny his way out of this latest self-induced PR Dwightmare. "Nobody really talked about our team. It was underrated. Everybody overlooked us for the whole time I was there in Orlando and I hated that. We all hated that. We thrived off that. My comments were never to say anything disrespectful … or downgrade any of those guys. "I would always tell them I wouldn't trade them for the world. That's how I viewed it. For the most part, those guys know that. They know who I am and they probably just heard something and people twisted it and turned it in different ways. I'm not that kind of guy. I would never disrespect those guys. It just kind of got blown out of proportion." Do you notice anything missing from Dwight's extensive explanation of his "team full of people who nobody wanted" comments? Dwight再度LUB, 試圖把責任推回到了媒體身上，是媒體曲解了他的話。但他沒有解釋他說前隊友們是一群沒人要的球員這句話。還記得當初他否認他要求炒掉SVG, 把責任推回到媒體上，但當媒體告訴他這消息已經被SVG證實時的囧樣嗎？那睜眼說瞎話的樣子就像是國王的新衣童話一般。 Never once does he take responsibility for what he said. Never once does he say, "I made a mistake" by choosing the wrong words. Never once does he apologize for what he said. Never once. Dwight Howard owes everybody in this city an apology. The fans, the kids, Van Gundy, Otis Smith and a Magic organization that did everything it could to make him happy. Mostly, though, he owes his former teammates an apology. To elaborate on Jameer's eloquent assessment of his former best friend: When are you, Dwight, as a man, going to stand up and take ownership of all the harm you've done and all the people you've hurt? 他從來不為自己說過的話負責從來沒有一次為他不當的發言承認：我說錯話了從來沒有為他所說過的話道歉過 Dwight Howard欠他的前隊友們一個道歉欠這個城市所有人一個道歉。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 101.12.197.166
