Former China star sheds light on culture adjustment from NBA to Far East

If you ever read Dwight Howard's interactions with fans on Twitter, you'll notice he will answer almost anything — even hateful messages from anonymous posters trying to upset or offend him.

"I answer them just to let them know that I see it, but it's not going to stop me," he said. "I'm going to tell you how I feel. I'm not going to hold anything back. I'm not going to just let you – because you have the opportunity to say whatever you want – get away with it. I'll tell them how I feel about any situation, good or bad."

Howard has defended himself when someone questioned his skills or place among the best players in the NBA. Whenever a follower asks him where he's going next summer, Howard will publicly reprimand the message.

One Twitter follower recently asked Howard to take a pay cut and to stop being selfish regarding the lockout. Howard politely responded, "I put in too much work to settle for anything."
