During the nationally televised game between the Lakers and Thunder on Sunday, Jeff Van Gundy thought it would be a good time to go on a nice Dwight Howard rant. He may have a point, but was it appropriate to do?  I wonder what Dwight thinks…cause you know he loves that Van Gundy family! Check out what he had to say & let us know what you think…

Here are some of the more pointed remarks, as transcribed by LakersNation.

He’s let everybody know ad nauseum that his back hurts OK, and that he is not 100%.

That’s not what people are upset about.

They’re upset about his waffling constantly on everything. This idea that he has to have less touches now? You’re the one that wanted out of the situation in Orlando where you were the featured guy. So this is what I‘ve ascertained that would make him happy:

Highest paid player, on a championship caliber team, first option offensive threat, in a big market, with no pressure, no responsibility and no one to prod him from a coaching standpoint.

Where do you find that in the NBA?

What he should do is say, ‘I wanted out. I wanted here. I’m going to make it work here.’

…

You should not have to beg a NBA player for energy, effort and unselfishness. Because you are not getting touches doesn’t give you the right to hold your team hostage by not giving your very very best.
