In an interview with Taylor Rooks of Bleacher Report, Howard was asked about his exclusion for the NBA 75 last month. The three-time Defensive Player of the Year explained that politics was the reason for his snub. He also mentioned that he deserved to be on the list, but it does not bother him anymore.
Dwight Howard added that he is happy playing in his 18th season as a part of the LA Lakers. Despite saying that he is not upset about being snubbed, Howard had a parting shot for the voters of the NBA 75.
Dwight Howard is one the best centers to ever play the game
Dwight Howard is quite possibly the best center of his generation. He is one of the most accomplished players in the history of the game. Howard’s career antics might have contributed to his snub from the NBA 75, but there is no denying that he is one the best centers in history.
The 36-year-old was an eight-time All-Star and a three-time Defensive Player of the Year during his peak. Howard peaked with the Orlando Magic in his early 20s as he was named to five All-NBA First Teams, one All-NBA Second Team, two All-NBA Third Teams. He’s also a four-time All-NBA Defensive First Teamer, one-time All-NBA Defensive Second Teamer, and an NBA All-Rooke First-Team selection.
Dwight Howard was also in the top five of MVP voting from 2008 to 2011, and finished second in 2011 behind Derrick Rose. But most importantly, Howard is an NBA champion. He won his first NBA championship as the backup center for the LA Lakers in 2020.
