Dwight Howard

The Dallas Mavericks’ 2015-16 season is officially over, which means Chandler Parsons can freely talk about recruiting Dwight Howard. Actually, I’m not sure if he can legally do that. Howard’s season is still ongoing, so there’s a chance talking about bringing him to Dallas qualifies as tampering. Either way, Parsons doesn’t care. From Dwain Price [...]

Dwight Howard has no plans to call it a season just yet. Following a Game 4 loss to the Golden State Warriors, the Houston Rockets are now on the brink, trailing the best regular season team in NBA history 3-1, a grave from which very few squads have ever escaped. But Howard doesn’t care. He [...]

Dwight Howard? Chandler Parsons? Reunited in, presumably, Dallas? Don’t rule it out. Shoot, knowing what happened last time Parsons recruited Howard, as a member of the Houston Rockets, perhaps we should expect it. During a sit-down with ESPN.com’s Tim MacMahon, Parsons made it clear he still values Howard as a player and friend: Yeah. We [...]

Shaquille O’Neal doesn’t just think it’s okay for Dwight Howard to return to the Orlando Magic in free agency this summer. He endorses it. As the Hall of Fame-bound tower said, per ESPN.com’s Calvin Watkins: “I think it would be good for the city,” O’Neal said Monday of Howard returning to Orlando. “First of all, [...]

All is not well with the Houston Rockets, who are battling for one of the Western Conference’s final three playoff spots and are staring down a make-or-break offseason. But there’s at least one silver lining. Dwight Howard apparently doesn’t despise James Harden’s existence. As the big man told USA Today‘s Sam Amick: This has led [...]

Life as a more traditional NBA big man isn’t easy these days. The NBA is a pace-and-space league. Three-pointing shooting sells. Speed sells. Clock-killing post-ups don’t sell. Not as much as they once did. Even bigs who specialize in devastating pick-and-roll finishes and rim protection can struggle to remain relevant. Towers are shooting jumpers and [...]

The Houston Rockets are not the New England Patriots, Dwight Howard is not Tom Brady and the NBA is not the NFL. Thus, the big man isn’t supposed to be harshly reprimanded for his shady tactics during Houston’s loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday night. Here’s video of Paul Millsap’s reaction to the incident, [...]

Former NBA megastar Shaquille O’Neal has seldom pulled any punches when it comes to riffing about Dwight Howard. That may be about to change. Howard has signed with Shaq’s agent, Perry Rogers, and The Big Aristotle apparently had something to do with it, as D12 told USA Today‘s Sam Amick: “(O’Neal) reached out to me [...]

This sounds about right. During a front office panel at the Sloan Analytics Conference, ESPN’s Jackie MacMullan decided to press Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey about the future of Dwight Howard. The exchange was, predictably, awkward and awesome and, on some level, telling. Here’s how it went down, as relayed to us by SI.com’s [...]

The Knicks and Phil Jackson probably feel somewhat desperate to make a splash this summer. The Zen Master’s regime hasn’t quite turned out as he’d hoped. They failed to sign the big-named player or head coach last summer and the team hasn’t performed well. Jackson will have a chance to make up for himself this [...]
