Dear Mr. Howard,
Over the past couple of months, you have publicly voiced your desire to leave the Orlando Magic organization and be miraculously placed into a scenario in which you could quickly and efficiently rise to the top of the NBA charts as the greatest big man in recent memory. As a) A devout sports fan, b) a very opinionated person, and c) someone who claims a similar faith and belief system as you, I feel obligated to tell you this: shut up. There is a difference between quietly declining a year extension and agreeing to come back to a team before scolding them and wanting to get out like you're caught in the middle of an apartment fire. I do not doubt your talents, because you ARE a premier player..when you're playing that is. You're soap opera acting needs some work, because whether you like it or not, the saga ends at some point. You'll either begrudgingly play out this year like last: Dominating the boards, leading your team, but all the while yearning to get out, or you'll get traded for a ton of draft picks, some scrubs, and then act like nothing ever happened. Either way: shut up. If Orlando is not where you feel led to be, then so be it. But the way you are handling this situation in...*gulp*...worse than THIS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9BqUBYaHlM. Before being drafted you said you wanted to "raise the name of God within the league and throughout the world". You're raising something alright, but it's probably closer to Cain than the name of God. Don't misinterpret that as an accusation, I just want you to know that LeBron could teach you a little bit about humility at the moment. Whether you end up with the Lakers, Magic, Republican Party, or the next contestant on Dancing With The Stars, I at least want to say this: Remember where you came from, Who made you who you are, and Who you're doing this all for.
Sincerely,
A Blogging Iowan
