This season, Dwight Howard emerged as the NBA’s Defensive Player of the Year, the youngest player to ever win that award at age 23. He also led the league in rebounds and blocks with averages of 13.8 and 2.9 respectively. Only four other players have achieved that feat, the last one being Ben Wallace in the 2001-02 NBA season.

I’m a big Shaquille O’Neal fan but his playing days are already numbered. The first time I saw Dwight play, I know he will be Shaq’s successor to the Superman moniker. His chiseled, 6-foot-11, 265-pound frame and his incredible vertical leap makes him a legitimate candidate. Any more doubt about that has been erased due to his superb season.

That’s why I also decided to collect his trading cards. These are Dwight Howard’s autographed cards I have managed to acquire since 2006.

This is a TRUE rookie card from 04-05 SP Authentic serial #d 631/999. Also included is its redemption card.

These are autographed “glass” cards…

8×10 portrait cards from 05-06 UD Portraits. The card at the right is the rarer parallel version.

This is serial #d 100/100! Too bad it’s a sticker auto.

other cards…

I intend to collect as many as I can. I’ll just update this post from time to time whenever I have acquired a new one.
