You don’t think Dwight Howard still has endorsements?



He isn't playing in the US anymore. Was in the league for 8 years.

He is worth $27M according to forbes and the last endorsement he signed was for the 2018-19 for some Chinses shoe brand.

What is? Taiwan being a country? It’s actually extremely simple. They are.

Why? Anyone who honestly thinks Taiwan isn’t a country is pretty fricking dumb.

Is it?

Even if you ignore the societal differences between mainland and Hong Kong Taiwan's independence is catastrophically import to the entire world. Does anyone seriously want China to be the gatekeeper for semiconductors?

Statemen even presidents know or learn the One China Policy is a minefield, just ask Trump about a week into his administration.

The problem is that the One China Policy is a wink and a nod agreement/declaration.

I see Taiwan as a wholly independent country but nobody gives a shite what I think and I have no skin in the game.

LeBron James is one thing, this coming from someone that was fine with his son pretending to be the only other gender, it’s about right. Imagine being one of the top athletes in the world and having this BS in your life. Generational wealth and your cow tailing to people that don’t give a shite about you.

You think he only played in the NBA for 8 years?

I am just surprised that Howard has anything to lose


Guy needs all the money he can get. He’s got big child support bills to pay. Has like 6 kids with 5 different women.

I'm guessing his Nike contract was threatened?
