With 1,600,390 votes, Dwight Howard is this year’s leading vote-getter in the NBA All-Star Balloting program presented by Sprint.
The starters for 2012 NBA All-Star Game were chosen in an online voting by fans at NBA.com. The game will be held on Sunday, February 26, 2012 at the Amway Center – Howard’s home arena.
Last year, Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard became the first player in NBA history to lead the league in blocked shots and rebounds in the same season twice – and for two seasons in a row.
Today, he was named as the NBA Defensive Player of the Year for the 2010-11 season to become the first player to win the award in three straight seasons.
Only Ben Wallace and Dikembe Mutombo has more with four awards each.
Dwight Howard is only 25 years old and will certainly earn more before his career is over barring any injuries.
Howard led the NBA with 66 double-doubles, including six 20-point/20-rebound efforts, while ranking second in rebounds (14.1 rpg) and fourth in blocks (2.38 bpg). He also was the defensive anchor of a team that was ranked fourth in the regular season, giving up 93.7 points per game to opponents.
In the previous episode, Shaq attempted some hocus-pocus with magicians Penn and Teller.
In the Magic Trick Competition, Shaq got Teller as his partner. However, Shaq messed up with the routine and Penn wins the challenge.
The way Glen Davis was getting up, he looked like just a ‘Big Baby’ trying his first time on how to stand up.
After being inadvertently smacked by Dwight Howard’s elbow in the face in the 3rd quarter of Game 5 of the Magic vs Celtics series, Davis was knocked down to the floor.
In a surreal moment, the Boston Celtics center slowly got up on the floor clearly dazed. He then wobbled his way to midcourt before referee Joey Crawford held on to him as he seemed destined to fall again.
The NBA has announced today the list of players that belong to the upper echelon of the basketball world.
The best of the best. The players who made a mark for the 2009-10 NBA season.
Here’s your 2010 All-NBA Team.
This might finally give Shaq peace of mind.
Dwight Howard is Superman no more.
In the Orlando Magic’s 99-90 Game 4 win over the Charlotte Bobcats, Howard has fouled out again.
This is the second time in as many games he got 6 fouls giving him a total of 22 fouls in the Magic’s 4-0 sweep of the Bobcats in their 1st Round playoff series.
That dubious statistic is enough to earn him a new nickname: “Foul on You”.
