NBA: DWIGHT HOWARD

Magic's Superman:

Turning Into 1 Of The NBA's Greatest Defensive Player's Of All-Time

Howard:

Protecting The Paint By Any Mean's......

 "I think they should keep testing me, I want to thank my teammates, for letting their man get by them. If they insist." -HOWARD

 "The main thing is to let him know we're not intimidated by him, You can't let him scare you." -Gerald Wallace

 

 "I think people see the blocked shot & the rebounds but unless you're a real astute observer you miss the other stuff, He really doesn't have a weakness as a defensive player. I don't think I've seen anyone better in all aspects, like concentration, rotation, help, not needing a double-team, rebounding and blocking shots. & he won back-2-back awards @ 24. That's phenomenal. That usually takes a long time for players his age to do in this league. He's unique in that he takes great pride in it, Dwight picks things up very quickly to be as young as he is. A lot of guys talk about playing defense but he actually does it. He's not about putting on a show. He's not out there pounding his chest. He's trying to win games, & the best way is with defense. In that regard, he's much more advanced than players his age." -Van Gundy
