Dwight Howard

Dwight Howard, nicknamed Superman, is now the most influential player in the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played 7 times in the All-Star Game and 5 times got into the symbolic NBA team, which traditionally brings together the best representatives of this sport. In 2019, Howard's home was once again the Los Angeles Lakers, the greatest in US history.

Dwight David Howard II was born on December 8, 1985 in Atlanta, Georgia, to a family with strong athletic ties. His mother used to play basketball, and his father developed the sport at the Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy, known throughout America for its basketball program.

Dwight turned out to be a real gift for his parents: before him, Cheryl Howard had 7 miscarriages.

Howard's craving for basketball woke up at the age of 9. Despite his overweight figure, he swiftly moved around the court, could act equally effectively in defense and attack. To develop innate skills, the boy went to school where his father taught.

By 2004, Howard had peaked. He won the Naismith and Gatorade Prizes for the best high school player, and Howard was named Basketball Player of the Year by USA Today. These achievements gave the young man confidence, and he made his debut in the NBA.

Dwight Howard has a peculiar personal life: he is the father of five children from five different women. They are legally forbidden to voice the basketball player's name in the media, but Royce Reid, for example, violated the restriction. She not only insulted Howard on Instagram, but also starred in the reality show "Basketball Players' Wives." The couple have a common son, Braylon.

In 2018, Howard found himself at the center of a sex scandal: transgender Masin Elidje accused the basketball player of harassment. As evidence, he published a correspondence where Howard proposes to solve the issue with money, not to make it public. The media found out that Elice had previously accused the rapper Playboi Carti of harassment, but his photo confirmation turned out to be fake.

Dwight Howard joined the Orlando Magic team right after school; the basketball player decided to abandon college following the example of his idol Kevin Garnett.

In his first year in the NBA, Howard set several records. For example, he became the youngest basketball player to play all 82 NBA regular season games. For his high performance in 2005, Howard was awarded a place in the NBA rookie team.

Howard's career has taken off since 2007. He was first included in the All-Star team and, accordingly, invited to participate in the All-Star Game. At the same time, the basketball player showed impressive statistics and helped the Orlando Magic to have the best season in the history of the club.

By the way, it was in the 2007/2008 season that Howard got his nickname Superman: during the performance of one of the slam dunks, the basketball player put on a suit with the legendary letter S on his chest.

At the end of the 2008/2009 season (and two subsequent ones) Howard earned the title of "NBA Best Defensive Player". As of 2019, he is the only one who has received this award three times. Better only Dikembe Mutombo and Ben Wallace, who each have 4 titles.

During his time at Orlando Magic, Howard realized himself not only as a player, but also as a coach: together with Kevin Durant, he tuned the participants of the Celebrity Match for victory.

At Orlando Magic, the basketball player spent most of his career - from 2004 to 2012. Then there were short contracts with the Los Angeles Lakers, Houston Rockets, Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Hornets and Washington Wizards. From season to season, Howard seemed tireless: he continued to improve his technique, despite his mature age for an athlete.

Howard managed to appear in the US national team. In its composition, the basketball player won bronze at the 2006 World Championships, and most importantly - gold at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.

In August 2019, Dwight Howard returned to the Los Angeles Lakers as center. Together with him, Joaquim Noah tried to get into the top US team, but Howard's candidacy was supported by the stars - LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

Finishing a career with the Los Angeles Lakers is Howard's ultimate dream. True, he does not think about retirement yet. The basketball player is in excellent shape: with a height of 211 cm, he weighs 120 kg, jumps high and hits right on target. His playing biography, according to forecasts of experts in 2019, will last at least another 3 years.
