Personally, I don't even care about Dwight Howard leaving. He was mediocre when he was on the Lakers and never seemed to try all that hard, but who knows, maybe he just wasn't fully healthy. I'm over it.

Ice Cube, on the other hand, feels a bit more strongly. Full transcript from his appearance at the Kings of the Mic Tour stop at the Greek Theatre two nights ago:

Ice Cube: Fuck Dwight Howard. We don't need no punk-ass motherfuckers on our team. We don't give a fuck about a Dwight Coward. We don't need no bitches on our team, homie. He don't deserve to go up on that goddamn wall. So I predict tonight-- Kobe will win another championship before Dwight ever sniffs one!!!
