Dwight Howard is truly one of the best basketball players ever. That is sort of a bold statement considering he has only been in the league for 7 years. He has already accomplished things that only few others have. He just a few days ago won his third consecutive Defensive Player of the Year award, something that no one else has ever done. Two other players Dikembe Mutombo and Ben Wallace hold the record for the most Defensive Player of the Year awards with 4. Dwight Howard has 3 and he is only 25 years old. It is safe to say that barring any uncertain injuries Dwight will win many more DPOY awards. There is just no one else in the league that is even close to dominating on defense like he does.
He has not won an MVP yet, but I think he will win one or two before it’s all said and done. If not for Derrick Rose this year, I think he would have won the MVP award. He is always in the discussion and one of these years will be his year. The other thing that he is missing is a NBA Championship. All the great NBA big men have multiple championships. Shaq, Kareem, Wilt, Bill Russell, and Tim Duncan all have plenty of championships, and that's why they are considered the best. He will be a free agent after the end of next year, so if the Magic don't get some better players to play around him than I believe he will leave. Dwight wants to win, and if he doesn't think he can do that in Orlando he will leave for a team he does believe he can win on. One thing is certain Dwight will be a huge force in this league for many years to come
