In the latest in a series of regrettable decisions, Josh Howard once again had a interaction with the law.

Josh was arrested on charges of competitive racing, speeding, and reckless driving late Thursday.

Howard had a career season in 2007-08, averaging 19.9 PPG, 7 RPG, 2.2 BPG while playing in 76 games for Dallas, finishing as the team's second leading scorer behind PF Dirk Nowitzki. He has career averages of 15.2 PPG, 6.4 RPG, 1.2 APG, and 34.6% 3PT shooting.

Josh was earlier criticized for his public condonement of using marijuana and his acknowledgement of fellow NBA players inhaling the substance during the Mavericks-Hornets series is the first round of the 2008 Playoffs.

In the series, J-Ho averaged 12.6 PPG, 7 RPG, and 1.4 APG. Unfortuanetly, he was noticeably affected by the mass media exposure birthed by his confessions and only shot 29.2 % from the field.

Mavs owner Mark Cuban and new head coach Rick Carlisle will cooperate in creating a punishment for Howard's latest offence.

  1. Josh Howard seems like he's on a downward slope. His playoff performance was beyond dissapointing, and then he gets arrested, and the whole marijuanna thing. What's he thinking?

    And if you look closely in the picture J-Ho is wearing a White Sox hat, while Cuban is trying to buy the in town rival Cubs. Funny Stuff.

    1. You're absolutely right. Its uncanny. Because of this new development, Cuban maybe looking to trade Josh Howard. I'm currently workinh on a follow-up article, about possible destinations for Josh. Stay tuned.
