Yeah right before he got drafted Howard did a piece on ESPN talking about how much of a Christian he is and he wanted to convince stern(who ironically is a jew) to change the logo to a cross

That kid is, nice. game is like grant hill before the injuries. He can play the 1 to the 4... Aint shit he cant do on the court...

So ILL · May 2012

He's nice, but I hate how media compares newer athletes to older ones....It's like they're digging the new players a big hole before they can even develop their own game...There are way too many expectations when they do that....

Mormons also believe that interracial relationships are a sin. The founder of the church said it himself (and they worship him more than Jesus.)

^^^^ True story.

It's the reason this dude won't talk about his religion...
