台北時間12月17日，火箭球星Dwight Howard接受了《今日美國》記者Sam Amick的採訪，
他談到了關於自己在火箭不開心的流言。



"I chose to go to Houston (via free agency in the summer of 2013), so why
would I just say, 'I'm not happy' and leave?" Howard, who is widely expected
to become a free agent again this summer, told USA TODAY Sports. "I chose
this place, you know what I'm saying? And I want to make this thing work
here. Obviously we haven't been playing great basketball, and personally for
myself my numbers don't seem like I've been playing great, but the only thing
on my mind is trying to grow as a man and grow as a teammate and a leader.
All the BS that's around, sometimes it is frustrating to hear it, because I
know who I am as a man and I know what I'm trying to do for this city."

火箭現在的戰績是12勝14負，暫時排在西區第七位。


but I came here and the biggest reason was because of him, because I want
both of us to grow and be great basketball players and be great teammates
together," Howard said. "It's on us to do it. We are the ones who are held
accountable for the good things and the bad things that happen to this team,
and I came here with that mission, so that both of us can grow.



"He's rising as a star, and I've seen all the things that he's done and I've
been through almost all of the things that he's done as a basketball player.
And I want to help him grow and reach even higher heights. All the other
stuff is just noise. I just hate hearing it."



“We've got to make it work, you know what I'm saying? And it takes time, but
I'm going to do whatever I can to help it grow and just be whatever he needs
me to be. To be there for him. So that's my mission.



"(The losing) gets frustrating, but the big picture is us winning a
championship, and we have to get better. It starts with me and him. We've got
to push each other. We've got to talk to each other. We've just got to be
better together. This is why I'm here, so it's going to happen. But right
now, we're struggling."



"I came here, and it's a mission to make this team a championship team,"
Howard said. "There's always going to be rumors (and) I don't know what's
going to happen at the end of the summer, but right now and since I've been
here, the only mission is to help this team win a championship.



"The first year (in Houston), we made it to the playoffs, went out in the
first round, and the second year of us being together - me and James - we
went to the Western Conference finals. That's big. We may have not won the
championship, but after two years of being together and going through all the
things that we went through as players, we were still able to make it to the
Western Conference finals together. You know, the sky is the limit for us.
We've got to put aside anything all the noise — and just focus on winning.”
