Dwight Howard is late to the party, but late is better than never at all.
Howard was what could’ve been in Brooklyn. In 2011-12, he wanted a new, bigger canvas for his talents, a bigger market with a fresh start after playing his first eight seasons in the small market of Orlando. And Nets ownership was looking for a superstar. He was seen then as the NBA’s second best player after LeBron James, an All-Star averaging 20.6 points, 14.5 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks per game. Howard would have been the face of Brooklyn as the Nets entered Barclays Center.
