Do you really want Josh Howard??

Karl Malone fathered a child with a 13 year old and they put a statue of him in front of the arena. I'm sure most people won't know/care.
 
Josh Howard may be a pothead and I'm not sure how well thought-out his reasoning is here, but if his biggest problem is that he refuses to participate in the jingoistic, ritual farce that is the performance of the anthems. It's a sports event. The Mavericks do not represent the entire USA, nor do their opponents here. An NBA game is hardly the sort of formal occasion that calls for the playing of the national anthem.

I don't stand up for anthems, either. I guess the terrorists have won, then.

The best part is, the anthem in the OP was at an Allen Iverson flag football game, not even an NBA game.

Anyway, I don't care about the anthem thing at all, but I don't particularly want him on the team anyway.

Meh. He'd be one in the long line of players the Jazz got about 5-10 years after I wanted them. Starting with Tom Chambers.
 
He was trying to sound cool. It didn't work. I've been guilty of that many times. Fortunately, those times are not on youtube.
 
Main reasons I'm not wild about Howard are durability concerns and age-athleticism correlations. I don't think he's a bad apple but I also don't think he's the veteran mentor you'd like to see either. A 1-year deal is really all I'd consider giving him.
