Dwight Howard has been in the NBA since 2004. He is best known for his days with the Orlando Magic where he made multiple All-NBA, NBA All-Star, and NBA All-Defensive teams. In 2009, he also led them to the finals. During 2007-2012, he was considered the best center and defender in the league, picking up the Defensive Player of the Year Award three years on the bounce.
Although the second half of his career did not turn out as expected, Dwight had a renaissance period during his later spells with the Lakers. As a role player, he won an NBA Championship during the 2019-2020 NBA Season. The character he has shown during the twilight period of his career, his humility, team-first attitude, and his readiness to perform has translated to his fatherhood.
