Dwight: I'm An Intelligent Basketball Player

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar criticized the basketball IQ of Dwight Howard during a television appearance.
 
"Dwight is an extraordinary athlete and has incredible athletic ability, but basketball is a game where the most important muscle that you use on the court is the one between your ears," said Abdul-Jabbar.
 
"Dwight's basketball IQ is not up to speed for him to be a dominant player."
Howard quickly responded to the remarks.
 
"You can't win three Defensive Player of the Year trophies and be stupid. That can't be done," said Howard. "And I don't think any coach that has ever coached me has said I have a low IQ for basketball.
"Have I done some dumb stuff on the floor? Yes, every player has. Have I done some stupid things in life?
 
Yes, it's life. We make mistakes and learn from them. It is what it is. I think I am very intelligent when it comes to the game of basketball. I have been playing since I was 3 years old. Each year, I get a little smarter.
 
"People will have something to say. Is what it is. I'm in (Houston) now. This city has my back and we are going to ride together."


 

 
Lol at the city has my back. Yea for now.

I hate Dwight as much as the next guy, but right now I just want him to dominate to shut everybody up.

I'm the opposite, I want to see him get dominated. 

 

[hat-94]

I don't like seeing anyone succeed.​

If you have to tell people that you're an intelligent player, you're likely not.
