Josh Howard Drives Me Crazy

For a long time the Dallas Maverick's Josh Howard was my favorite basketball player. He had a huge enthusiasm to play. Back in the days when Nelson was coaching, Howard would try to sneak back in during garbage time just because he liked to play. He peaked in his "All Star" season when he was selected as a replacement. At that point he was a great utility guy. After being designated an "All Star" unfortunately, he decided that meant he was a scorer. So he converted from a very good utilty guy to a okay scorer. It didn't help that this coincided with all his off the court issues. I think it represents a microcosm of my relationship with the Mavericks that Howard has gone from being so fun to watch to just another NBA player.
