Stan Van Gundy Acknowledges Dwight Howard Asked for His Firing

[EmpireWF]

Well this is weird...

SVG has acknowledged Dwight asked ownership to fire him.

Dwight of course has publicly denied this.

The original report from CBS...

NYT Howard Beck tweeted:

Stan Van Gundy just acknowledged that Dwight Howard has asked that he be fired.

Absolutely surreal: Dwight comes out and denies reports that he wants SVG fired, though SVG himself just said it on record moments earlier

[Bomberooski]

I really think that Dwight Howard is a team cancer.

Odds Patrick Ewing is coaching the Magic tonight?

Bynum and Howard, the two most childish big men in the league

Between Bynum shooting 3s and saying he doesn't get in on huddles and Howard laughing on the bench when his team is down by 30, I don't know who is more childish.

[ralaw]

Van Gundy isn't Howard's problem.

[Diivox]

what happened to the dorky looking man-child with braces who said he wanted to evangelize the NBA?

Dwight is seriously turning NBA fans against himself. I already hate hearing about the guy, and we will until next years trade deadline...

Dwight now denying he asked for Stan to be fired. Asked reporters to give up their source. Hey genius, the source is Stan

LOLAWKWARD

Stan was already gone at the end of the season, but he just laid down his cards and made sure everyone knows that if he gets canned, it is because of Howard. Either the team will fire him and make it look like they are appeasing a primadonna or they will trade Howard in the offseason and make it known they won't care to a superstar. Now it isn't about Stan anymore, which is exactly what Stan wants.

Excited for TNT pregame show. "Shaq, you had SVG ousted in Miami. What's Dwight doing wrong here?" - Ernie Johnson

lol

When Orlando is bad they are absolutely horrible. It appears Dwight Howard is mailing it in as well.

[Kuzzy Powers]

Orlando is probably the worst quit team in the league. Ive never seen a "good" team flat out quit on games the way they do. Maybe a coaching change is necessary, Stan may have lost these guys a long time ago.

[EmpireWF]

Dwight was absolutely horrible tonight. They definitely tuned SVG out awhile ago.
