I'm sure I would hate to see him on the Celtics. Him being on the magic has nothing to do with it. I don't just hate everyone who isn't on the Celtics. He's always slagging off his coach and teammates to the media. You think because he puts up big numbers that makes it okay? That's not a team player; that's not productive. That just shows he is all about himself. He's passive aggressive and non-confrontational. He doesn't understand sacrifice. Yea he smiles too much on the court. He giggles to himself and can barely contain his glee when he knows the cameras are on him. I could go on about this but it's probably better to just say personally I don't like him and I don't want him wearing the Celtic uniform.
oh please, you know full well that it's not just putting up big numbers. it's putting up big numbers and putting the effort on both ends of the floor and leading your team to a victory. it's not like he's going T-Mac on them by averaging 30ppg while in the middle of a 13-game losing streak.
i'm reminded of something Sasha Vujacic said earlier this season. He said he could score 20 or 30 any night but he just doesn't want to because he's too unselfish and too much of a team player. I suppose you'd prefer a guy like Sasha over Dwight then huh? Give me a guy who can score 40 points on 20 shots while blocking 6 shots and grabbing 15 rebounds.
saying "he doesn't understand sacrifice" is a strong statement. I'm actually perplexed as to what exactly you mean by this. Do you mean off the court, that he doesn't know how to sacrifice? that he should do gestures like have Jameer Nelson and Hedo Turkoglu in all his media appearances, and refer to them as the big 3? or do you think that the Magic team is better off not passing it to him and choosing instead to live and die with a Gilbert Arenas 3? because i don't. Or should he stop trying to score despite having an obvious mismatch down-low or having good position? After all, god forbid that he shoot because he's only scoring at around a 60% clip for the year. Dwight prioritizes defense, both individual and team, and i don't ever recall him freezing out his team offensively. He's not some sort of black hole on offense (ala Kobe or even BBD). there's a world of difference of how much you should defer on the court when your teammates are borderline all-stars (Magic) or legitimate all-stars (Heat, Lakers, Celtics). do you think guys like Jameer, Hedo, JRich, Arenas & Reddick would fare significantly better than how they're doing now with the Magic?
lastly, i don't care if he smiles on the court. just like i didn't care when Perk scowled on the court. i didn't care when Nate flapped his arms whenever he or someone else made a 3 or a highlight play. not wanting Dwight because he smiles is like not wanting Rondo because he used to wear his headband upside down or not wanting KG because he bangs his head against the basket stanchion. it's petty.
