Love the way Van Gundy handled himself, and how he said the only thing that makes him uncomfortable i sbullshit and denying reports and trying to lie about it. Then Dwight walks in with that shit-eating grinning and tries to bullshit the reporters. Great contrast and shows why many of us don't like Dwight
3:10 you talk to him now...ALRIGHT. Greatest PR move of all time right here. That and where he walks in returns to "we gotta stop Carmelo Anthony tonight, thats the plan".
what makes me laugh the most is that Dwight obviously was well aware of the situation and what the conversation between stan and media was but walked over acting like they were all cool and he was calm and collected. but he didn’t have any idea that Stan started off saying he heard dwight wanted him fired so when he got asked Dwight gets all defensive and starts getting frustrated cause he 1. knew it was true and 2. his plan to walk up and act calm cool and collected backfired in his face
Dwight was a beast in Orlando. Confident, powerful, and dominant. It all got to him and injuries finished him off, with his lack of refinement in his game becoming apparent. A Hall of famer but not an all time great player. Massive what if
Career double double. How many can you name? Dpoy, made all nba. Without checking I'm sure he on a small list of guys that recorded multiple 20 20 games. It's just hate when ppl say he not a all time great. Dwight was very skilled and just a all around freak athlete.
Stan: "I hate bullshit, I hate evasive answers that go nowhere. Oh hey Dwight, your turn." Dwight: Proceeds to bullshit and give evasive answers that go nowhere.
@@gg_v2 Howard said that at one point he was getting diabetic due to all the sugar he was regularly consuming and this was causing tingling in his hands and he couldn't even catch the ball anymore.

@MrBrenman21 Why so aggressive, dumbass? It's ridiculous to call someone a "sorry excuse for a human-being" just because he wanted his coach fired. And Van Gundy didn't "punk" anybody; he ran away like a coward once Dwight showed up.
Damn!!! Kinda makes me a little sad watching this. We had freakin Jameer nelson, Dwight Howard, Rafer Alston, Courtney lee, J.J Reddick, Hedo, Vince Carter, Ryan Anderson, Marcin Gortat. It sucks that everyone is long gone and has moved on now. I miss the Magic from 2008-2011. Those were really exciting times as a Magic fan. Heading towards 2012 that's when everything got weird. The franchise hasn't been the same since. :(
Dwight let everybody down. Did you see how old derek fisher swiped/stole the ball from a prime howard in the post multiple times in finals? Thats not suppose to happen.
Actually, Orlando was a playoff team when SVG walked in taking over in Orlando. That was the summer of Donovan & Meyer announcing their pact to stay with UF. The Magic also made the playoffs and were eliminated. To be honest, I think Donovan was afraid to inherit HS talent that could be NBA Finals level talent, rather than a good team that he could coach at a collegiate level.
I wouldn’t call a team that in the prior four seasons before he began made the playoffs once the season before where they were swept in the first round as if that says much if anything.
Very sad day for Orlando I’m not even from there but I’ve been a fan ever since his rise and dominance and hey we’ve made to the playoffs the last two years with this young team. Atta boys!
As a die hard Lakers fan I was fooled into believing he was going to be our Savior. That he was going to partner up with a HOF player and stay the course. Boy was I fooled and we should have traded him by the trade deadline.
trade for what? For another expiring contract? Smart teams wouldn't give up anything for a few months rental if they can get him without give anything in the free agency like Houston did that following summer.
Steve Stevensteverson I didn't say he fooled anyone, or myself. But his lack of any real twitchiness, you can tell, this is a guy who has said, on many an occasion, "It wasn't me...who you gonna believe, baby, me, or your lying eyes?" That goes to character, my point. But I don't want you to think I don't appreciate your point and wit. PEACE
yeah we definitely liked him, as a magic fan. my dad and I went to a game during the controversy and made a sign saying "dwight: keep stan- fire free throw instructor". dwight saw it. But as you may know the entire magic franchise fell apart and here we are now- after many failed attempts at rebuilding.
Anybody remember right after Dwight was drafted & he said "I'm gonna bring Christianity to the Magic locker room. :)" (The smiley face has to be imagined, of course, because it was reported in news media, but even at 18 he was full of BS.) I knew then and there he wasn't gonna achieve greatness. He almost proved me wrong for a *split* second in the East, but then people started stripping the bball from him in the post and it was a WRAP.
against the Knicks on April 5 2012, dwight put up a staggering 8 points, 8 rebounds, 3 blocks, 5 turnovers, 5 fouls in 39 minutes and lost the game 96-80
Meh. He wouldn't have TOLD these reporters this bit of business if he was ultimately worried what his player was going to think, say or do. He might have been surprised, but he just got out from under Benedict Arnold's arm, and left him to it.
Hahahahaha all these people backing dwight now he admits he told management to fire stan how could yall believe this bullshit look at his face he got caught siiiiiiiiiiiick and im glad stan jetted he dont want chill with this guy who just tried to get him fired!!!

and that's why he didn't have too many friends in the league, that inauthenticity. People hate thaat.
This video always calms my anxiety not sure what it is, but SVG’s careless noncholant attitude just sets the bar for my daily life.
those reporters were like kids on christmas morning with that scoop
"I haven't said anything to anyone about anything" Totally not vague, and completely believable.
hahahahahaha!!!
Dwight was a beast in Orlando. Confident, powerful, and dominant. It all got to him and injuries finished him off, with his lack of refinement in his game becoming apparent. A Hall of famer but not an all time great player. Massive what if
Well said, DH had some nice years in Houston but after but he was pretty much a role player for the second half of his career
he’s definitely an all time great wtf

Superb athleticism but he never added much skill to his game.
Bro has more double doubles then Tim Duncan and isn't an all time great?? lmaoooo
Carmelo Anthony? This must be an old video. 🤣
That was a wild Knicks season. Played terrible, then Linsanity, then terrible again, then Melo, JR, and Novak got hottttttt
What gave it away
The fact that Dwight Howard was still with the Magic didn't give it away....
Just a friendly reminder that Jeremy Lin won a championship before Carmelo.
Daniel Weiss and didn’t win shit
You know Stan is preparing Drummond to destroy Dwight next time they're matched up
NBA Ron Jeremy is Drumming up revenge
This aged extremely well😭
2:45 when i heard dwight voice i started dying lol
the two sides of professionalism
This is, to me, the best sports interview ever. SVG is my favorite NBA personality.
Stan: "I hate bullshit, I hate evasive answers that go nowhere. Oh hey Dwight, your turn."
Dwight: Proceeds to bullshit and give evasive answers that go nowhere.

Cory Robert Are you still glad? lol
LMAO
AbbeyRoad52 yeah i think so
He's never been able to coach a team revolving around a big man ... And now he coaches a team with Andre Drummond and Blake Griffin ...
SVG is a coach without a job. Pistons canned him recently.
He should have been working on his free throws instead of doing this interview.
Swaggy-C tell that to your buddy Deandre
How you doing rn bro you okay?
Wow. That is awesome. That was one of the most uncomfortable moments i have ever seen.
Knuckleheads brought me back here hahahahahahaha
Now he's in a fight with AD and he's the one handling the interviews very well lol.
Dwight obviously lying here. "I said that?" answering a question with a question is one sign of lying in kinesics
Kinesics is the study of NONVERBAL communication... so no, it's not.
Don't even need to look into that. Just look at his body language, it was obvious he was lying.
