In the midst of the Kevin Durant hoopla, it feels like everyone has forgot about Dwight Howard going home to Atlanta.
Ever since Howard left Orlando, his image on and off the court have been taking consistent hits.
However, Howard is looking to change the perception of him.
“I want to do whatever I can to bring a championship home,” Howard said Tuesday from Philips Arena while attending a Dream game. “I know it’s not going to be easy. I’ve worked extremely hard this summer, every summer. I’m very motivated. I’m really (ticked) off about last season. I’m looking forward to coming back with a different mentality.”
When speaking on his last year in Houston, Howard had this to say.
“Losing,” he said. “A lot of people see me with smiles and all that stuff and think I don’t care but I hate losing. I hate seeing other people stand up on the podium and hold up that trophy and I worked so hard for it. That’s the main thing.”
As currently constructed, the Hawks are nowhere near championship material unless Howard somehow goes back into a time machine.
