How will Dwight Howard be remembered...?

[mikejones]

Dwight Howard has denied accusations by a Georgia man who says he was sexually assaulted by the former NBA star and another person.

Stephen Harper filed a state civil suit against Howard in July, alleging assault and battery, false imprisonment and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

In a response filed this week by his attorney, Howard described the 2021 encounter at his home in the Atlanta suburbs as consensual and requested that the case be dismissed.

Harper's lawsuit says he met Howard through Instagram and they exchanged explicit text messages before arranging to meet at Howard's home on July 19, 2021.

While on his way to the Gwinnett County residence, Harper says Howard texted him to ask if another man or woman could join their planned sexual encounter. Harper says he told Howard he was not interested.

Once at Howard's home, Harper claims they were joined by a man dressed as a woman who identified only as “Kitty.” Harper says he tried to resist the two men, but Howard and Kitty forced him to participate in sexual activity.

“Mr. Harper was trapped in Defendant’s bedroom and believed that he would suffer imminent bodily harm if he resisted Defendant’s sexual advances,” the lawsuit said. Afterward, “Mr. Harper felt extremely violated and humiliated, and was in complete shock.”

Howard denied the allegations in his response, which says the three men agreed to “engage in consensual sexual activity.” He asked for a summary judgment, with court costs and attorney fees to be assessed against Harper.

The 37-year-old Howard was an eight-time All Star, three-time defensive player of the year and one of the NBA's most dominant centers during the prime of his 18-year professional career.

He played for seven franchises, most notably the Orlando Magic — who took him with the No. 1 overall selection in the 2004 draft out of Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy — and the Los Angeles Lakers, the team he was with for his lone NBA title during the pandemic-affected 2019-20 season.

Howard had three different stints with the Lakers, including in 2021-22, his last NBA season. He has career averages of 15.7 points and 11.8 rebounds per game, leading the league in rebounding five times.

But Howard also had the reputation as being a disruptive presence in the locker room, not spending more than one season with the same team over his last six seasons in the league. Howard played in Taiwan during the 2022-23 season.

The real tragedy in all of this is that the Chapelle Show is no longer in existence to re-paint this entire scenario in skit form.


The leaked preview of his HOF bust hit different.

Don’t we all know this?

Soft like Charmin. And always laughing when the situation wasn't always funny.

Deflection game over 9000 even in his coming out statement.

So hoping Rubin secures DH12/Jason Collins duals for next year's Immac.

Oof. Dwight mining harder than California gold rushers after weathering Da Trail.

[kingofsnake]

A bump for one of the best players of the past 20 years (top 50 at least), and also one of the least popular.

Pan? A Guillermo del Toro masterpiece.

I have no idea what pan is, but otherwise I agree.

I'll remember him for his appearance on Somebody Feed Phil and his 84 points, 37 rebounds, 14 blocks and 9 assist game.

Bro is still a super goofy weirdo that's most likely a terrible human being. I don't care where he sticks his wood@ (pause), but having assault allegations under your belt and subjecting your pre-pubescent children to Diddy parties is not it. One of those young children also happens to have an assault case under his own belt, so it's no wonder what kind of environment's being fostered behind those closed doors.





Glad he's getting blackballed (pause) by the league. No Hola Kitty bronze bust for you, champ.
