Dwight Howard speaks on 75th anniversary snub

Dwight Howard is a three-time Defensive Player of the Year winner, an NBA champion, and now a basketball Hall of Famer. What he can’t boast is being a member of the 75th anniversary team.

Howard was shockingly snubbed from the NBA’s 75th anniversary team. This came as a shock to the former Orlando Magic star.

“The 75-team, yes, it hurt,” Howard said. “It was like a big slap in the face to not be on that team. But to go in the Hall of Fame not only for what I did for myself, but to help the USA team win a gold medal.

“To go in twice in the same year, it’s like God said, ‘I’m gonna double pound you for being persistent, consistent, and always thanking me for blessing you.”
