Josh Howard got another bad reputation as he disrespecting national anthem. As the National anthem plays in the background at a charity flag football game, Howard approaches a camera and says: “’The Star Spangled Banner’ is going on right now. I don’t even celebrate that (expletive). I’m black.”

Howard, a fifth-year pro from Wake Forest who averaged 19.9 points and seven rebounds last season was arrested in July because of drag racing at 94 mph in a 55 zone. He also was criticized last season for saying in a radio interview that he occasionally smokes marijuana. After a Game 4 loss to Hornets, Howard angered coach Avery Johnson by throwing himself a birthday bash.
