“Sources” is the most overused word in the business and it was especially thrown around a lot while we waited for Dwight Howard’s decision. There were different reports about the teams presentations and one of the rumors was that Kobe said he’ll teach Dwight Howard how to be a winner. Well it turns out that’s not true, in fact Dwight says he already is a winner. Read more after the jump.
What did you think of Kobe Bryant’s comments that he could teach you how to be a winner?
DH: “He didn’t say anything of that sort. People twisted a lot of stuff that he said. But in my personal opinion, I’m a winner. I’m a winner because I’ve been playing for nine years when the average career for an NBA player is three years. I’m a winner because I made it to the NBA from a small school in Atlanta, GA, with 16 people in a class. I’m a winner because I’m succeeding in life. I’ve had problems and I’m not better than the next man, but I’m going to push myself to be a winner when it comes to winning a championship. But he didn’t say anything like that and a lot of people twisted what he did say.”
