Hi, yes, hello — it’s me. I’m bringing you this message from an alternate 2004 where the Bobcats drafted Dwight Howard instead of Emeka Okafor, became the Hornets and then this happened.
Behold, Dwight Howard’s coast-to-coast slowbreak for a dunk in 2017
What are we even watching?
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Yup, that’s Dwight Howard going coast-to-coast in 2017, which isn’t a thing that should happen — but here we are, because NBA preseason is a goofy place where the impossible becomes possible.
Let’s be real: Howard has caught a lot of hell for playing a style of ball that doesn’t apply in the NBA. Critics have said he needs to become a better shooter, get quicker, and re-invent himself to remain relevant. Maybe this is a step in that?
Or it’s NBA preseason and we shouldn’t read too much into him doing this. Probably that one.
