It's funny, but I don't see Howard as a bad guy. His biggest problem is he can't make up his mind as to where he wants to play. He said the Magic made promises they didn't keep. Only he & the Magic know the truth behind that.

Lebron wants the world to love him. I don't think it matters to most athletes whether or not they're liked by the public. Sure they don't want the media giving them a bad time for something they did that could tarnish their image, but I believe most players enjoy going into an opposing teams building & kicking ass. This is why it was such a big deal after the DECISION when the hate became real. I never had a problem with Lebron leaving Cleveland. He was a UFA & had every right to choose the team he wanted to play for. He went about it the wrong way. Disney didn't help matters either.

I'll be interested to see how the rest of the league reacts to Howard. I think they'll hate him in Orlando & that's about it.
