Mike Brown's Playbook
The blood gang embraces Tupac as a member even if YOU dont.
^^ LOLdid yall see this http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=6609008Dwight Howard: Orlando is first choiceDwight Howard is not planning on following Shaquille O'Neal's lead and bolting the Orlando Magic via fee agency.Or so Howard is saying a year before the he hits the open market following next season. The center is is under contract with the Magic through the 2012-13 season, but can terminate the deal a year early.O'Neal, looking to take his talents to Hollywood, left the Magic for the Los Angeles Lakers after the 1995-96 season."I'm not trying to run behind nobody like Shaq or be behind somebody else," Howard told the Orlando Sentinel Monday."I want to start my own path and I want people to follow my path and not just follow somebody else's path. I want to have my own path, and I want to start that here in Orlando. But I can't do it alone. Not only do I need the right teammates, but I need the city behind me. That's the only way it's going to get done. We can change this small city that we have -- this small market that we have -- and we can make it a big market."In order to make that leap it appears the Magic would have to re-tool its roster to appease Howard. Following its first-round playoff ouster by the Atlanta Hawks, the Magic brass would have to give the All-NBA center a stronger supposting cast to make the club a bigger threat to win a championship.A deeper run in the playoffs would perhaps give Howard even more reason to stay put in Orlando."As of right now, I'm a part of the Orlando Magic and I plan to be here," Howard told the newspaper."And I want the Magic to do whatever they can to make sure that we can get our city behind us. That's the only thing that I want to happen: just to have the city behind me and the support of our fans. I never said I was leaving. I never, ever thought about leaving. That's basically where my head is right now. I never said anything to them (the Magic) about what my plans were because that's not what I'm focused on right now."--- maybe he was hammered when he said this, and somewhere in an island out in the bahamas luke walton is working on his jab step - spin move- reverse 360 dunk
LMFAO @ Mike Brown as new coach of the lakers
