From Superman to Point Howard? Dwight Howard scores coast to coast
A new team wasn’t all that center Dwight Howard found this offseason. Apparently he dug up a new facet of his game and decided to break it out during the third quarter of a 106-104 Charlotte Hornets preseason defeat of the Detroit Pistons.
In a surprising move, Howard took a defensive rebound down the court and hit his defender with a savvy spin move and dunk for an and 1. Sadly, Superman came back down to earth as he bricked his free-throw attempt and fouled Boban Marjanovic in the act of shooting on the following play.
For most, hopes of seeing Dwight Howard return to his all star form dwindled years ago. Though it’s more than likely the best days of his playing career disappeared when he left Orlando, it’s not too late for Howard to make a serious impact on a playoff team with his superior rebounding and steady interior defense.
