Josh Howard played 11 seasons in the NBA with four different teams, though the majority of his career was spent in a Dallas Mavericks jersey after being taken #29 overall in the 2003 NBA Draft.

Howard made one All-Star team in 2006-07 as well as an All-Rookie team in his first year, but now, per a recent story on Mavs.com, Howard has returned to his hometown of Winston-Salem, North Carolina to coach the basketball team at Piedmont International University.

According to the piece by Dwain Price, Howard also turned down an invitation to Ice Cube’s popular Big 3 three-on-three league, which has seen a variety of former All-Star and big-name NBA players ply their trade in a league that has grown in popularity since its inception in 2017.

At 39 years old, Howard would be far from the oldest player in the Big 3, but according to Price’s story, the former small forward opted to stay with Piedmont as its head coach.

“I enjoy coaching more than playing,” Howard said in Price’s story.

In his 11-year career, Howard produced career averages of 14.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steal in over 30 minutes a game, per Basketball Reference, while shooting 44.8 percent from the field, 33.2 percent from deep and 77 percent from the line.

His All-Star season of 2006-07 (18.9 PPG, 6.8 RPG, 1.8 APG, 1.2 SPG) was actually not his most productive year, which came one season later in 2007-08 (19.9 PPG, 7.0 RPG, 2.2 APG), but he was more efficient overall in 2006-07.
