The Dwight Howard Saga Continues

Not sure but doesn't it seem like Mr. Howard has enjoyed all the attention given him surrounding the question of where he will play basketball next year. I suppose any of us could fall victim to the seduction by the media. Feeling like this decision is so very important that perhaps it has world wide implications. In fact, this may be the most important decision any human being makes this year (you could argue that Howard's decision has received nearly as much attention as the American citizenry's decision as the next leader of the most powerful nation of all time has thus far).

But really, it is such a stupid question. It is so meritless. This dude has millions of people spending billions of hours contemplating, debating and questioning where he will play. Play! One more time....Play!!! The world will ultimately not be affected in any way by Howard's decision. Most of me wishes we could just keep these things quiet until the offseason and then we could spend a week or two frantically wondering. But, part of me really enjoys the ongoing debate, so color me a hypocrite for writing any of this.

Dwight Howard has decided...........(building suspense)............to not make a decision. Yup, he has decided not to opt out of his final year with Orlando which means (unless there is a general agreement to an extension) that we can go on for another year obsessing about the future employment of Mr. Dwight Howard, Attention Whore. The media has chimed in saying one thing or another. Having one opinion or a counter opinion. Loving the loyalty he has displayed (Really? Loyalty? Like letting your spouse or life partner wriggle with the fear that you might leave him/her for nearly a calendar year) or criticizing the cowardice remaining a big fish in a little pond.

Either way, this is likely just an extension for the attention lover, Dwight Howard. Howard just hit a last second shot to put this wonderfully interesting/annoying game into overtime. Actually, considering his limited offense arsenal, blocked a last second shot to put this fascinating/stupid contest into extra time! Yah/Boo depending on your perspective.
