Dwight Howard Orlando Magic

Warcraft Howard, a center that has almost been abandoned by the times. As the No. 2 pick in 2004, it is not easy to be able to play in the NBA for 17 years. Howard basically spent his peak in choosing his own parent team, Magic. He made it to the playoffs with the team six times in his 8-year Magic career, and in 2009 he even counterattacked the Eastern Conference Finals and fought the Cavaliers in the 1.0 period in 2009. At that time, there was even more saying that Howard could replace James alone. No matter what, the Magic team was a team that could punish the opponent inside and outside. Tkogru, Rashad Lewis, Jamal Nelson, Pitrus, Courtney Lee, and Polish Hammer Gott, indeed any team has a headache facing the Magic. The Magic still won respect in the finals. In the following years, the Magic were also regulars in the playoffs, but they didn't go any further. Howard left the Magic to join the Lakers in the 12-year offseason, and his Magic career officially came to an end.

Howard briefly Lakers F4 era

12 In the summer of 1991, Howard transferred to the Lakers at the same time, 38-year-old veteran Nash joined to form a super F4 lineup, which is no stranger to F4 Lakers fans because it was formed once at the beginning of this century. But the ending was a bit sad. Kobe's complexity outside the court and the discordant voice inside were finally defeated in the 2004 finals. O'Neal then went east to Miami, and Payton and Malone also failed in their respective transactions and retirement. But this combination also ended in failure and almost became a joke. The Lakers were calm in the regular season, and Nash also experienced the trouble of injury. In addition, coach D'Antoni's tactics are too monotonous, Howard seems even more out of place in this lineup. The average score per game fell from 20.6 points in the Magic's final season to 17.1 points, and the rebounds were also falling. Kobe tried his best in the playoffs against the Warriors, giving the Lakers the final dawn at the cost of a serious Achilles tendon injury. Although he finally got 7th, he was still powerless in the first round facing the Spurs who were united in the Spurs. Howard averaged 17 points and 10.8 rebounds per game and was unable to compete with the Spurs, which were not able to compete with GDP.

After an unpleasant year in Los Angeles, Howard also began his wandering career. He has played for the Rockets, Eagles, Hornets and Wizards, and the changes in the times have almost made Howard's living space in the league infinitely narrow. James' recruitment regained Howard, who was bought out in the free market, and after entering the palace for the second time, he redefines Warcraft with his attitude and fighting. Although he has a basic salary and has become a substitute, his shooting percentage is extremely efficient with 7.5 points, 7.4 rebounds and 73.2% per game per game. The playoffs faced the Nuggets to start, which restricted Jokic, laying a good foundation for the Lakers to defeat the Nuggets in five games. Howard traveled to Philadelphia with a minimum salary of 2.6 million yuan in the new season and continued to write his career.

Main honors: 8 times selected as All-Star (6 starters, 2 substitutes) 5 times rebounding king 3 times DPOY (best defensive player)

Personal opinion: Although Howard and O'Neal are not comparable, some characteristics are similar: for example, they are both pistachios and Lotte mentality; the free throw shooting rate is terrible, and both of them are also Lakers who have left the Magic to join. Howard's lack of inside skills is a major drawback of today's league, and he does not have the absolute dominance of O'Neal. Although he is the Magic's historical scoring champion, many statistics are also at the forefront of the team's history. But some teams in the NBA rarely retired, and the Magic are one of them. This mainly considers the way of leaving and not bringing the team a championship. Last season, when he represented the Lakers away against the Magic and had more boos when he had physical conflicts with his opponent. When it comes to historical status, there are top 5 centers in the league today; but if it extends to the top 15 of NBA history, it may not necessarily have a place for the Warcraft. Therefore, I personally believe that the possibility of the Magic retiring Howard's jersey in the future is not high.

If you have different opinions, you can also talk about Howard's views on retirement in the Magic's jersey in the comment section.
