Royce Reed has an issue with how Dwight Howard portrays his fatherhood on social media. On Thursday, July 6, the NBA player posted several videos of him training them on Instagram. The video featured one of Howard’s boys on an elliptical bike, sobbing and telling his father, “I can’t,” as he encouraged him to keep going.
Howard wrote in the caption, “In the process of being GREAT it’s going to be laughs, frowns, smiles, tears, blood, and sweat but that’s what is needed for us to succeed as individuals and also collectively as a family.”
“I’m just teaching my kids what it means to be resilient, to be determined and to have discipline. Every day is a battle and some battles are going to be harder to win than others, but we have to fight them until we WIN! And if we WIN the day every day we’ll never lose in the end ! We have to finish every mission we begin and follow through. That’s the most important part ! Never say you can’t! Remember Philippians 4:13… YOU CAN and you will! Just follow through. That’s how you be Great.”

Further, than the mixed responses under his Instagram post, the mother of one of his five children, Royce Reed, took to her Instagram story to give her two cents. She slammed the NBA star in her story post: “Not someone pretending to be a parent for one day out of 365 for the cameras. Don’t make Thursdays turn into truth Thursday.”
