During Allen Iverson's annual charity flag-football event Josh Howard thought it would be a good idea to express his disdain for the United States national anthem. He appeared on a cell-phone video, speaking to the holder.
"'The Star-Spangled Banner' is going on. I don't celebrate this [expletive]. I'm black …"
This is after admitting that he is quite fond of smoking marijuana in the off season during a playoff series with the New Orleans Hornets. He also saw his draft status take a hit a few years back when it became public knowledge that he was quite fond of pot during his college years.
Josh Howard is an extremely talented player, on a very talented team that won over seventy games two seasons ago. They added a first-ballot hall of famer Jason Kidd last year. However Howard's off-court antics often take center-stage and are a distraction for the team. I think the Mavericks best chance at winning a championship will come when Howard is no longer on their roster.
