Ouch. This is going to make a few players upset with Dwight Howard. In a recent interview with CBS, Dwight made a statement about his former Magic teammates that most are not going to want to hear. I’m sure they will just brush it off, but it still has to sting a little bit. Check it out…

In a fawning interview with Los Angeles’ local CBS station KCAL, Dwight Howard defends himself as a “coach killer,” an interesting decision considering both his former coach and team have gone on record to point out that Dwight Howard asked for coach Stan Van Gundy to be fired before and during the 2011-12 season. It’s probably true that Howard didn’t ask for Van Gundy to be killed, literally, so I suppose Dwight still has that to cling to.
That’s not even the worst of it. There’s this choice quote, as well:
“My team in Orlando was a team full of people that nobody wanted and I was the leader…”
Awesome thing to say, Dwight Howard. Especially when two members of that team – Earl Clark and Chris Duhon – were sent to Los Angeles with you.
