Dwight Howard, an eight-time NBA All-Star and three-time Defensive Player of the Year, has been inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2025. Despite a career marked by transitions, including his notable move from the Orlando Magic to the Los Angeles Lakers, Howard reflects on these experiences positively, attributing them to his growth and eventual Hall of Fame induction. Howard's Hall of Fame induction will be marked by a ceremony where he will be accompanied by NBA legends like Shaquille O'Neal, despite their past feuds. He will also play his final professional basketball season with the Los Angeles Riot in Ice Cube's BIG3 league, aiming to further showcase his talents and contribute to the league's global expansion. The BIG3 league has shifted to a city-based model, and Howard will join the Riot as a player-captain under coach Nick Young. Ice Cube praised Howard's legacy and welcomed him to the league, emphasizing his potential impact on the game of basketball globally.
