I’ll never forget summer 08 I’m riding from work and heard the interview that ruined him I just knew that was it, if you didn’t get a chance to watch Josh Howard live you missed a treat he was the future of the Mavs. I hate how the league threw him away without gaining understanding.

I wonder if the NBA would try to argue weed is a PED. I feel bad for him, but I think he opened his mouth too much. Gotta be smart. He basically dared the NBA to ban him.

[@lefty206]

Yeah.. it would have been different if he made those comments today, but back then it was a huge deal

[@aaronhutchinson885]

Good one SG. He would've been paid a lot more in this era. Ball handling was another stunt to me. He was an ideal 3ND wing, play hard etc. Would love to see him on All The Smoke Pod..

[@carlwallace1129]

Absolutely ✔. He had a sweet hezi and crossover moves for his 6'7 length however his handles were average .However he was a Quality 3level scorer before all the injuries.

[@avantesmith6442]

Got much love for J. Howard mane!! I’m still mad the Mavs let him go. There was a point during that 06 finals run, where he was a true 2nd option behind Dirk. I always wondered why he just disappeared after he went to DC

[@Kidigi33]

I've actually play basketball against him as well as his dad I think a lot of what happened with him is a reflection of his father's troubles one of our many Winston-Salem Legends including yours truly

Looking Back im sure Josh wishes he never said what he said on camera...kept them shits private.

[@carlwallace1129]

Mann Josh Howard had a high motor alot of bounce in the lane ,smooth mid post game a lethal in and out Hezi and a descent outside shot. BEFORE injuries he could have started or helped out alot of other teams. He was a slept on talent in his prime.

That's why in any field it's best to just speak on your craft and stay out of politics if you're speaking to a wide audience unless you are in that field. Dude was a basketball player, focus on basketball. On my music page I don't talk about politics 24/7 because somebody is gonna feel some type of way no matter what and not that I care what they think but I just don't wanna deal with somebody's BS. Mfs Gon get offended no matter what you say so it's best to say nothing. It's Howard's fault what happened to him. A lot of these dudes in the NBA are not smart or have meaningful insights on anything anyways. A lot of them are good only at basket ball and not thinking. Same w other sports
