This former Golden State Warriors champion believes NBA teams should sign Dwight Howard to defend Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic.
Three-time Defensive Player of the Year Dwight Howard last played in the NBA during the 2021-22 season with the Los Angeles Lakers. One of the best players in basketball with the Orlando Magic, Howard made eight All-Star teams in his prime before winning a championship with the Los Angeles Lakers as a role player in 2020.
Having played professionally in Taiwan since his final NBA season, Howard has not been very vocal about eyeing a comeback to the league, as he seems content with where his basketball career is at.When Howard was asked if he wants to make an NBA comeback, Young jumped in and said a team should sign him to defend Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic.Howard immediately shut down this idea, saying, “So I can just play one game? F—k out of here, man.
Howard had some success against Jokic in the 2020 Western Conference Finals, but that was four years ago. Not only has Jokic become a three-time MVP and one-time Finals MVP since then, but Howard is now 38 years old.Nobody is stopping Nikola in todays game, but you need size and physicality to contain him in key moments. Dwight has a crazy strong base and wingspan so Jokic couldn't bump him with ease. Need bruisers.
