Dwight Howard has had a ton of criticism thrown his way this season with the latest coming from both Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash when it comes to Howard sitting out the last 3 games with his recurring shoulder injury.  Today at shoot-around, Howard addressed Bryant.

“That’s his opinion. That’s it. He’s not a doctor, I’m not a doctor.....I want to play, I mean, why wouldn't I want to play? But, at the same time, this is my career, this is my future, this is my life. I can’t leave that up to anybody else because nobody else is going to take care of me. So, if people are pissed off that I don’t play or if I do play, whatever it may be, so what? This is my career. If I go down, then what? Everybody’s life is going to go on. I don’t want to have another summer where I’m rehabbing and trying to get healthy again. I want to come back and have another great year. That’s what I want to do. "
