This is surreal.
Howard Beck @HowardBeckNYT
Stan Van Gundy just acknowledged that Dwight Howard has asked that he be fired.
Ian O'Connor @Ian_OConnor
Stan Van: management told me story is true that Howard asked for him to b fired
Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
SVG says D12 has asked management to fire him.
Frank Isola @FisolaNYDN
Dwight Howard, moments after putting his arm around Stan, denies he wants him fired. Wow, crazy times in Orlando
Sam Amick @sam_amick
Source close to situation says no word on whether Stan Van Gundy's moment of truth means he's out immediately. Then again, it's been 30 min.
What an idiot. He shakes up the balls of three franchises, starts being silly bitch, and takes the safety valve of blaming it all on coach.
Anyone still wants to trade for this clown who under performs in the playoffs and becomes useless down the stretch as a 40% FT shooter?
THat video is so funny when Howard comes in all casual. That's such bad timing but good timing for the media.

Stan just tweeted this: what me worry, i'm still getting paid millions to do this
the video is up there on the all-time awkward NBA moments list. classic!!!
LOL me appreciate of SVG has risen!
This is a classic NBA moment. The look on SVG's face when Howard strolls in is priceless
Now the fans and media will turn against Howard.
Guess New Jersey gets Dwight anyway
And they say Carmelo Anthony is a coachkiller.
Howard's lying straight through his teeth!

Another good point. And some of those hating on Melo and calling him a coach killer are the same people who were ready to trade the whole team for Howard the child

Yes I trade for him, Howard has his flaw (poor free throw shooter) however, he is the best big man in basketball and doesn’t need anybody to remind him to play like a superstar.

Within Magic, there were doubts whether Howard was too injured to play lately, sources say. Only way to avoid blame for SVG's firing? Lose.
I always respected SVG, he was like JVG 2.0. A basketball lifer, solid coach, and both he and Jeff had love/hate relationships with their mentor, Riley. He got the raw deal in Miami, and now he's all but put out to pasture by Dwight "I need everyone to love me because I'm a Good Guy with a childish sense of humor" Howard. This guy is not far off from Lebron, enormous ego and despicable as a professional athlete...and somehow Melo is worst than both Lebron and Howard combined to some people SMFH.

Virtually every team in the league would try to trade for a top 3 player, the best center and the best defensive player in the league if Orlando is willing. I don't know why everyone here freaks out every time a great player tries to get a coach fired, it happens all the time.
Drama in Uh-Oh-town. Dwight condescending and abending! SVG hooting and scooting!
Billions of dollars. Lots of attention. To play possibly the greatest sport ever invented. And it all comes down to little man complexes.
AHA! now it all makes sense!

the video makes me love SVG. dude set Dwight up lovely.
why is a 3rd seed team looking to fire its head coach? The NBA makes no sense sometimes.

Correction only 1 guy wants him fired.
