    Baron Davis - along with his poor conditioning took him out

    Bobby Sura - just ended up retiring, stealing money not able to return
    even after back surgery




    Those are a few off the top of the head. Thing about back problems is, you have to manage them, whatever it is.

    Surgeries don't always correct the problems and sometimes make them worse, but if it really is serious then Dwight shouldn't jeporadize his future for the right now
    Larry Johnson's back did him in too, didn't it?

        I feel like his age was going to limit him either way, no? He thrived off his athleticism.

            Re: The Dwight Howard Thread



            Magic center Dwight Howard has called team owner Rich DeVos to tell him that he won't play for coach Stan Van Gundy anymore, WKMG in Orlando is reporting.

            Howard missed his sixth straight game with a back injury Wednesday against the Celtics, and Van Gundy has already said that he is preparing for his big man to miss the rest of the season and the playoffs.

            Howard is still upset that Van Gundy publicly said this month that Howard asked management to have him fired, sources told WKMG. According to the report, the 86-year-old DeVos took Howard's call in his suite at the Amway Center sometime during Friday's game against the Hawks.

            Uncertainty has dogged the Magic for quite some time. Howard asked management for a trade in the preseason, but after months of speculation he signed a waiver of the opt-out clause in his contract, meaning that he would remain under contract to Orlando at least through next season.

                  Oh now this ***hole wants to play the bad guy? WTF was this at a month ago?

                  Hope he asks Lebron for his PR Team, because he is going to need it when this thing is done.

                    The jerk had the stones to call the owner during the damn Hawks game. He's warped.

                      He didn't post that part, but the very same article has two Magic sources saying that never happened.

                            Is his back really hurt, or does he just not want to play?

                              Regarding report that Dwight Howard told Orlando owner Rich DeVos he wouldn't play for coach Stan Van Gundy, source close to the situation says it's not accurate. It speaks volumes that people are ready to believe it, though. Dwight's PR is a nightmare these days

                                I hope it's not true, especially for his sake because that's literally quitting on your team with that.
