May 27, 200421 yr never watched the show before, but tonight was Great. Clearly the NBA logo won't change, but the NBA needs more kids like this. If nobody else wants him, the spurs will take him "Man on a Mission" Wednesday, May 26, 2004 11:58 p.m. ET on ESPN When this year's NBA draft order is determined during tonight's draft lottery, it may very well define the future of a young man named Dwight Howard. As the top high school player in the country, he could be the No. 1 overall pick in next month's draft. He leaves high school with a package of can't miss court skills that have drawn comparisons to Tim Duncan and Amare Stoudemire. He also has a deep-seated religious faith that defines his life. But this 18-year-old basketball phenom wants to take things a step further. Howard wants to imbue the NBA logo with the Christian cross in an attempt to spread Christianity. Tonight on Outside the Lines, Mark Schwarz tells the story of a young man who will rely on that faith as he enters the very adult world of the NBA -- and tries to change it. Bob Ley hosts. Guests: Terry Cummings and Stephen A. Smith
May 27, 200421 yr This was on a few months back, and I really enjoyed it.. scratch that, i really enjoyed laughing histerically for about 15 minutes after Dwight Howard, a complete no name, says he wants to change the NBA logo.. :puke Dwight Howard alot of yacking tonight ;o
May 27, 200421 yr That complete no name is about to be a rich rich 18 year old. He's got his head on straight, thats for sure.
May 27, 200421 yr That complete no name is about to be a rich rich 18 year old. He's got his head on straight, thats for sure. great, he's not going to make it, and he's going to be living on a couple million bucks for the rest of his life as he turned down a scholarship to pretty much anywhere in the country. EDIT: I will eat my words if he does something someday.
May 27, 200421 yr Why on earth would he not succeed? He is 18, has skills similar to Kevin Garnett at the same age, and has a great work ethic, he's a very smart kid with a 3.8 gpa and 1300 SAT score. I think he will be just fine.
May 27, 200421 yr lol its fine, I completely understand. I have a hatred for the NBA taking away all the top prospects, it makes following recruiting no fun at all. You watch a guy for 1-2 years knowing he's gonna play for your team, then BAM the NBA comes in and robs him away.
May 27, 200421 yr Author yeah, it sounds like this kid will do fine in the NBA, I think if he wants to customize his logo on his own jersey, I'd be fine with that, but no way can you change the entire league. he'll figure it out. I really liked with terry cummings had to say. great show
May 27, 200421 yr Why on earth would he not succeed? He is 18, has skills similar to Kevin Garnett at the same age, and has a great work ethic, he's a very smart kid with a 3.8 gpa and 1300 SAT score. I think he will be just fine. Damn, he'd kick my ass on the court and in class.
December 5, 201114 yr http://www.faniq.com/blog/Super-Religious-...hoops-Blog-5842 I was reading this article and it linked me here. I was like "Wtf? Soxtalk?" We're so cool. Edited December 5, 201114 yr by Quinarvy
December 8, 201114 yr QUOTE (Heads22 @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 11:40 PM) Haha wow, redandwhite....swing and a miss.... his post is equivalent to striking out in T-Ball.
December 8, 201114 yr QUOTE (zenryan @ Dec 8, 2011 -> 08:06 AM) his post is equivalent to striking out in T-Ball. Glad to see someone else (am sure there's others) that thought of him as "highly" as I did. Edited December 8, 201114 yr by SoxAce
December 8, 201114 yr QUOTE (Heads22 @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 10:40 PM) Haha wow, redandwhite....swing and a miss.... Right up there with the infamous Gavin Floyd predictions.
December 8, 201114 yr QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 8, 2011 -> 08:23 AM) Glad to see someone else (am sure there's others) that thought of him as "highly" as I did. My only surprise was how much he bulked up. But he was a can't miss prospect.
December 11, 201114 yr Christian kids having sex? I am shocked, not. And check out that list, I wonder how accurate it is.
