No one thinks Dwight Howard or any other NBA big man will start having 30-rebound games on a regular basis.
But Paul Silas hopes Howard’s spectacular game Wednesday challenges him to be that much better going forward.
Silas was twice coach of the Charlotte Hornets. He was also one of the most prolific rebounders in NBA history; still 21st in career rebounds with 12,357.
Rather than marveling at Howard’s 32-point, 30-rebound game against the Brooklyn Nets, Silas thought that game should serve as a reminder to Howard he can be even more than he’s been.
