Dwight Howard Articles - Page 3

It is not uncommon in the NBA to win a championship and not even make the Conference Finals in the following year. However, giving up on a roster that just won a championship a year prior and having an overhaul is quite bothersome. This is what the LeBron James and Anthony Davis-led 2020 Los Angeles […]

The NBA championship is the most coveted prize in basketball. It cements legacies and allows players to join an elusive club. However, throughout the years, basketball fans have witnessed some of the greatest players end their basketball careers without a championship ring. As a result, it isn’t surprising that some basketball players engaged in a […]

A civil lawsuit accusing former NBA star Dwight Howard of sexual assault and battery has been dropped, as per court documents obtained by ESPN.

LeBron James’ former Los Angeles Lakers teammates recently talked about his longevity in the NBA.

Despite James soon turning […]

In a recent episode of Dwight Howard’s podcast ‘Above the Rim,’ former Los Angeles Lakers stars Dwight Howard and DeMarcus Cousins, along with Quinn Cook, discussed their experiences and perspectives on their time with the Lakers.

Former NBA player Dwight Howard, now playing in Taiwan, offered Jayson Tatum a spot on the Taiwan Mustangs roster.

Dwight Howard’s offer to Jayson Tatum […]

The NBA is the highest level of basketball in the world. Of course, there are only 15 roster spots on 30 teams, though, so even the biggest-named superstars can’t last in the league forever. True hoopers never want to give up their basketball dreams, though, and many megastar players have continued to lace up their […]

The San Antonio Spurs, who’ve been linked to Chris Paul for a while now, are reportedly signing the future Hall of Fame point guard and pairing him up with star center Victor Wembanyama. Dwight Howard, and NBA vet that knows a thing or two about playing center with some good point guards, loves the move […]

Typically when Dwight Howard name-drops one of his former NBA comrades on Twitter, it’s because he’s recruiting them to come play or coach in Taiwan. But on Wednesday night, Howard’s basketball-related musings remained in the Western Hemisphere, as he pitched a former teammate, Rajon Rondo, as a head coaching candidate for the Detroit Pistons. The Detroit […]

The Los Angeles Lakers’ attempt at a superteam in 2012 ended in disaster. After trading for three-time Defensive Player of the Year winner Dwight Howard and two-time NBA MVP Steve Nash to partner with Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, and Metta World Peace, the Lakers limped into the playoffs, where they were swept by the San […]

Monty Williams’ very brief and very expensive tenure with the Detroit Pistons came to an end on Wednesday just one year and seventeen days after it began.

Jerry West passed away at age 86 Wednesday, prompting an outpouring of support and mourning from the National Basketball Association community.

The Dallas Mavericks have surprisingly gone through the Los Angeles Clippers and Oklahoma City Thunder to find their way to the Western Conference Finals. Of course, the guy who has largely been their leader on this run is star guard Luka Doncic, and his strong play in the postseason so far has led to a […]

Every diehard hoops fan on the planet has spent countless hours playing the era-bending “Who’s Better?” Game over the course of their life. At least I have, I guess I shouldn’t speak for everyone else. But whether it’s Michael Jordan vs. LeBron James, Larry Bird versus Luka Doncic, or Nick Van Exel versus Stephen Curry […]

Paolo Banchero and the Orlando Magic are currently just a few days into the 2024 NBA offseason following their crushing Game 7 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Although the Game 7 loss will sting for a while, especially considering that they held a 19-point lead in […]

History was made following the reveal of the 2023-24 NBA Defensive Player of the Year, as Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert became just the third individual to claim the award for a fourth time in his career. The celebratory occasion was not met with universal agreement, however, with plenty of fans objecting on behalf of […]

Even though he was badly snubbed from the NBA’s 75th Anniversary Team back in February 2022, it’s not up for debate that Dwight Howard had one of the most impressive careers and dominant peaks in league history. The 18-year NBA veteran is best known for his eight seasons with the Orlando Magic, a franchise for […]

Former Orlando Magic centers Dwight Howard and Shaquille O’Neal have had beef for year. The feud between O’Neal and Howard started when Dwight, representing the Magic, put on a Superman costume in the 2008 dunk contest — which Shaq viewed as stealing his persona — and it’s only gotten more ridiculous sense then. Howard has […]

Days ago, Dwight Howard theorized that the Minnesota Timberwolves would beat the Denver Nuggets in five games. Fast forward to the conclusion of Game 2, and Howard immediately tweaked his prediction. I take it back it’s not Minnesota in 5 I meant 4 lol ya thought Jordan son was going to lose lol — Dwight […]

Shaquille O’Neal is a Hall of Fame NBA center whose career was defined by dominance.

After Game 1 of their 1st Round Playoff series against the defending NBA champion Denver Nuggets, the Los Angeles Lakers are already searching for answers.

Recently, former Boston Celtics (and Los Angeles Lakers) point guard Rajon Rondo announced his retirement from the NBA, per ESPN. Over the course of his NBA career, Rondo established himself as one of the best passers the game of basketball has ever seen and also won multiple NBA championships, first with the Celtics back in […]

One of the more bizarre stories of the last two decades in the NBA has been the ongoing apparent beef between former Los Angeles Lakers and Orlando Magic star centers Dwight Howard and Shaquille O’Neal. In many ways, Howard’s career was essentially a diet version of that of O’Neal’s, as both led their upstart Magic […]

Recently, former Boston Celtics All-Star point guard Isaiah Thomas reentered the headlines when it was announced that he would be joining the NBA G-League as a member of the Salt Lake City Stars. Thomas wasted no time making his presence felt when he got there, as the former Celtics star scored 32 points in his […]

On Saturday evening, the NBA held its annual Slam Dunk Contest as a part of All-Star Saturday Night, which this year took place in Indianapolis, in addition to all of the other traditional All-Star weekend activities. This year’s competition featured the likes of Boston Celtics All-Star Jaylen Brown and last year’s winner Mac McClung of […]

The NBA has a Slam Dunk Contest problem, but you surely were already aware of that. This isn’t the first day-after-the-dunk-contest article that has been written about the dire state of what was once the marquee event of All-Star Saturday Night, and it certainly won’t be the last, especially when you have former Slam Dunk […]

Legendary NBA centers Shaquille O’Neal and Dwight Howard making amends was probably not on many fans’ 2024 bingo cards. O’Neal has long been known to level harsh criticism at Howard, ranging from beefs about the true owner of the nickname “Superman” to who had a more dominant run with the Orlando Magic. However, the Big […]

Although they were both at one point the best big man of their generation, Shaquille O’Neal and Dwight Howard have not always seemed to see eye to eye. The two legendary centers shared eerily similar career trajectories, as both O’Neal and Howard got started with the Orlando Magic before departing for the Los Angeles Lakers […]

The Orlando Magic have had an embarrassment over the years when it comes to the center position, including most notably having the services of legendary big men Shaquille O’Neal and Dwight Howard during the 1990s, 2000s, and extending into the 2010s. While neither player was able to bring a championship to the Magic, there has […]

The Orlando Magic’s star player Paolo Banchero has etched his name in the NBA history books with a series of performances that outshine even the legendary feats of Shaquille O’Neal and Dwight Howard during their tenures with the Magic. In his last six games, Banchero has been nothing short of phenomenal, averaging an impressive 32.2 […]

The Houston Rockets have had a history of having star caliber big men.

Dwight Howard, after spending last season with the Taoyuan Beer Leopards of the T1 league in Taiwan, will continue to ply his basketball services in the continent of Asia.

Buried at the bottom of the Western Conference, the San Antonio Spurs have been struggling as of late.
