Dwight Howard Breaks Silence on NBA Future: ’25 Minutes of Dominant Basketball’ Still in Tank
Dwight didn’t receive any offer from any NBA team in the 2022-23 Season. He is a potential Hall of Famer. Dwight recently revealed in an interview with Zio Olojede of Complex that he still has the ability to provide any NBA team with 25 minutes of dominant gameplay.
Howard said:
“I know I can provide a team with 25 minutes of dominant basketball.”
“And that’s not even scoring, that’s just playing defense, locking people up, protecting the paint, rebounding, and finishing around the basket. I’ve had my fun in the game. I just want to go out like a champ like I’m supposed to.”
The Warriors are making some bold moves in this season. They lost against the Lakers in the 2023 Western Conference Semifinal in 6 games.
This was the first time that the Warriors didn’t make it to the finals in the Steve Kerr era.
The Warriors acquired Chris Paul by trading Jordan Poole this offseason. They have strengthened their roster which includes solid players like Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins, Klay Thompson, and Paul George.
