League stunned by Howard’s admission

“You know, I just thought that, with the rules and everything, maybe I’d try and follow them. At least during the season, when I get tested,” a chastened Howard explained to SSNN. “I know it makes me really lame and unpopular – I’m already catching a ton of crap from my teammates about this.”

One of those Mavericks teammates, Jason Terry, expressed serious doubts about the young forward. He sees Howard’s lack of commitment as a flaw that could be exposed on the court.

“Yeah, it’s certainly concerning,” Terry told SSNN. “Josh makes millions of dollars per year, and he’s too lazy and cheap to go buy some Formula 420 to clean up his urine for the tests? Come on, dude – this is just how the problem starts. Before you know it, he’s diving out of the way when Chris Paul comes down the lane. It raises questions about his desire.”

Lakers forward Lamar Odom was even more disappointed than Terry. According to him, Howard’s unwillingness to smoke weed during the season is not about laziness or thriftiness, but something more like a character flaw.

“Nevermind how easy it is to get clean urine if you need it for a test – you can fail like three tests before they even say anything about it,” Odom said. “For Christ’s sake, man – get it together. If you’re not smoking during the season, you probably don’t belong in this league. I mean, it’s one thing when you’re old or have kids or something, but Josh is 28. If I pass him a blunt during the season, he damn well better hit that shit; otherwise, we’ve got problems.”
