Dwight Howard's Taiwan Stint After NBA

Considered as one of the best big men in the league during his prime, Dwight Howard also tweeted while quoting the viral clip, urging his followers to live their lives to the fullest.

"In 100 years none of us will be here. Jus go live. And no more English especially if it's negative [raised fist emoji]," Howard said.

Nicknamed "Superman", the former three-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year and a member of the All-NBA First Team from 2008 to 2012 has played in Taiwan's T1 League for the Taoyuan Leopards since November 2022.

In his jampacked debut with the team, Howard put up video game numbers of 38 points, 25 rebounds, nine assists and four blocks in a 120-115 victory. Howard finished the season as the league's leading rebounder, averaging 16.2 rebounds a game. He was also named an All-Star and All-Defensive First Team.

However, his team Taoyuan Leopards finished last in the league with a poor 6-24 win-loss record. Howard remains a fan favorite throughout Taiwan.
