Dwight Howard, who left the Rockets this summer and returned to his hometown team, will change to wear the No. 8 jersey. In this regard, his explanation was: "This is a brand new beginning."
For Howard, the new thing is not only the surrounding environment, but also his own physical condition: "My back is no longer a problem. For my remaining career, I don't think back injury will cause trouble."
"What has happened in the past two years will only make me stronger and have a thicker leather armor."
Before Howard signed, the Hawks won the championship in the 2016-17 season was 35, and after he joined, their odds for winning the championship were reduced to 1 and 50. Howard certainly was upset about this:
"This makes me angry because it almost means impossible. But I know that if we can be consistent and I can keep my best in the best, I can dominate the game every night and we will have a good chance."
