More on this storyline
Dwight Howard: “The NBA stuff will have you depressed, have your joy gone. So you got to understand they doing their business. You might not fit into their scheme. I spent the last two years trying to figure that out, just getting the same runaround. ‘Well, you know, we like you, but…’ Bro, you might be overqualified. What does that mean? -via YouTube / August 6, 2024
Dwight Howard: “I was depressed like hell. I know I’m supposed to be playing in the NBA. I know I do. But I can’t sit up there and let this stop me from being who I am. Coming over here, these people gave me wings. I never take these people for granted because they gave me the opportunity to come just hoop. And the people here showed me so much love.” -via YouTube / August 6, 2024
