    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Houston Chronicle - According to a report in the Houston Chronicle, Rockets forward Juwan Howard was accused Wednesday of shoplifting a $2,000 pair of sunglasses from a Miami-area optical store.

    Miami police are investigating the claim, but no charges have been filed and Howard has denied any wrongdoing.

    "I'm aware of the situation and have spoken to my attorney," Howard said in a statement. "I will vigorously defend myself and (I) am confident I'll be cleared of these baseless charges."</div>
    If thats true than wow because come on you make millions a year and your going to shop lift?

    This has to be a misunderstanding. I don't think Howard needs to be shoplifting, considering that he has been one of the highest-paid NBA player.

    But let me take this oppurtunity to make a joke everyone has probably thought of. This is nothing new, Juwan Howard has been stealing from every team he has played for.[​IMG]

    actually no

    very few people who shoplift do so because they can't afford to buy the item. THey do it for the thrill of it - doing something wrong, and maybe getting caught. It's common among rich old ladies, and Winona Ryder did it also.

    Hope he's innocent...Always thought of him as a stand up guy with lots of character. Played pretty well in second half of this year in limited role..NOBODY, no matter how rich, needs $2000 shades.

    If there's a rich, old lady playing in the NBA, Juwan Howard is she.

    What a surprise. Howard never struck me as a kleptomaniac. But judging by the way the past season went, nothing should surprise me anymore.

    Juwan, Juwan, Juwan.... Why are you going to shoplift and try to be a role model for kids at the same time.... He isn't going to get charged for anything though because he is a Superstar.

    Anyone look at the ads for this thread? Awesome.

    I say. . VOID HIS CONTRACT, VOID HIS CONTRACT.

    There has to be some stipulation that allows us to do that, right?

    Shoplifting for something that costs a small fraction of your daily pay.... hmm... makes a lot of sense.

    ok 1 thing i dont get.. why would you steal sumthing when you can buy tons of those.. the guy is like super rich, why would he steal sumthing like that when he could've wasily bought it.. thats dumb.. Juwan.. common.. ur rich.. when u can easily buy it with tons of your money.. why steal it.. If u steal it, that means you are too poor to afford it.
