5. Dwight Howard

Honestly, who cares at this point to hear about the so-called "Dwightmare" that has begun yet again? Yes, the big man has a few decisions to ponder this offseason, but why on earth is he getting so much attention when he's sitting at home watching other players compete for a title? He's been nothing short of a big, whining and complaining baby over the past few years and I for one, am sick of it. We can pick this story up in the summer, but for now leave it alone.

4. Kobe Bryant's Future

Let me be the first to say that I love watching Kobe Bryant play basketball. He is without a doubt one of the best to ever play the game. But, he is in the midst of a tough rehab process and has some things to think about regarding his future right now. So, let the man think. Let him have his time and space to make the necessary steps towards whatever his future goals are. Too many have forced stories into the spotlight that have no merit to them, including a Twitter blowup a couple nights ago when somebody created a fake account pretending to be Adrian Wojnarowski and tweeting that Bryant had planned to announce his retirement. With all due respect, Bryant is not playing at the moment and I'm sure he's sick of people trying to predict and prod their way into his future.

3. The Sacramento Kings

First off, let me congratulate the fans of Sacramento on being able to keep their Kings in town. Second, enough already. The franchise has a long way to go to even begin to talk about the playoffs, and the biggest news out of their front office has been regarding the potential move to Seattle — not even in regards to the team or the upcoming Draft lottery. Let's talk about the four teams that are still alive and leave the Kings alone for now. It's pretty much over and done with, so let it go, ESPN — oops, did it again.

2. Derrick Rose

He hasn't played in a game in over a year, has barely spoken to the media, and we are still hearing the latest rumors and updates. Isn't it about time that they let the guy live and make his own decisions? When he's ready to return, he will. Right now, his Chicago Bulls are no longer in the Playoffs and they have many moves to contemplate over the offseason. Therefore, let the topic rest for a bit and leave the guy alone.

1. LeBron James and Michael Jordan

LeBron James is a phenomenal player; one of the greatest of all time already, in my opinion. But why in the world are we continuing to hear his comparisons to the career of Michael Jordan at the moment? Give it a break. James is solely concentrated on a title right now, not living up to everybody else's expectations. In fact, let's give this argument a long-extended vacation. Today, it should be about the 2013 Miami Heat, not the 1996 Chicago Bulls. When the time is right, I would love to hear an educated debate by two individuals not named Bayless and Smith.
