Random News Shit: NBA Headlines

US National Basketball Association (NBA) player Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic gestures during a function in Bangalore on August 10, 2010. Four-time NBA All Star player Howard is in India to participate in a series of basketball events in Bangalore and Delhi to further the growth of basketball in the country. Howard will train with Indian's senior men's national basketball team, and conduct coaching and player clinics during his visit.
1) Dwight Howard Sues Baby Momma For $500,500,000
No, that's not a typo, Dwight Howard is really suing his BM Royce Reed for five-hundred million, five-hundred thousand dollars. I know "Basketball Wives" was successful, but I'm almost positive she ain't got it. Hell, Dwight Howard doesn't even have that kinda money himself lol.

Lil Duval was joking about it earlier on Twitter because that truly is an odd number to ask for. I'm not mad at him for suing her, but $500,500,000 might be a tad excessive. Besides, suing for such an outrageous number isn't exactly the best way to get your name out of the news for non-basketball related issues.

(Side note: Can we finally change "Basketball Wives" to "Basketball Baby Mommas" (or "Basketball BMs" for short) once and for all and be done with it?? We all know that only one of the broads is even married, and her husband doesn't even play anymore. I think it's time.)

2) Rockets Limit Yao Ming To 24 Minutes A Game
Poor Yao. Maybe it's time for him to call it a career? I mean, it's not like he's gonna get any smaller, so his foot problems aren't going anywhere whether he plays 24 minutes per game or 40. And it's not like he's an old man either, he just turned 30 on Sunday. I say get those retirement papers ready.

3) Heat Take Their Talents To Fort Walton Beach
From September 28th through October 3rd the new Miami Heat will kick off training camp in Fort Walton Beach, Florida oppose to South Beach, Florida. Honestly, I don't give a shit where the practice, I just can't wait to see them play! I'm absolutely giddy for the 2010-11 NBA season. In fact, I might have to make a trip to Miami to watch their first preseason game again Detroit on October 5th. Anyone wanna drive me??
