Throughout much of his career, Dwight Howard has caught much criticism for often times his behavior and maturity level that has painted him more of a negative light.

It in many ways, has become somewhat of a distraction as it has taken away from what he can contribute on the court. According to Lee Jenkins of SI.com, it has the 31-year-old now considering to possibly taking legal action against those he used to be associated with.

Although there is not much divulged just yet, there should be more to come if Howard is serious about this matter. This will likely have to do with things behind the scenes that have only contributed to his negative public perception.

It hasn't been long since Howard was viewed as being one of the rising stars in the league with a bright future ahead. However, his career following leaving the Orlando Magic has had many ups and downs along the way.

All of this appears to be part of the plan for Howard to finally get things more in order off the court to help this next chapter of his NBA career.
