Jameer Nelson responded to comments made by Dwight Howard disparaging his former teammates with the Orlando Magic.

“My team in Orlando was a team full of people who nobody wanted, and I was the leader and I led that team with a smile on my face,” Howard said.

“At some point, when are you [Dwight] gonna as a man, when are you going to take ownership and stay out of the media in a professional manner?” Nelson said on Wednesday.

Howard and Nelson were initially close teammates, but their relationship was strained when Howard talked about playing with an elite point guard like Chris Paul.
