Dwight Howard Went Full Superman in Taoyuan Leopards Taiwan League Debut
He scored 38 points with 25 rebounds and even attempted 10 threes.
Dwight Howard started his first basketball game in Taiwan with a bang. Giving fans a performance that reminded them why he is nicknamed “Superman,” Howard led the T1 League’s Taoyuan Leopards to a 120-115 victory over New Taipei CTBC DEA — earning Player of the Game.
The 36-year-old, 18-season NBA veteran stunned the crowd by mixing in plays from all kinds of positions and even attempted 10 three-pointers of which he made two. The crowd didn’t care, however, as they continued to cheer Howard on to keep shooting. Howard ended the night with 38 points, 25 rebounds, nine assists, and four blocks.
Regardless if Howard makes it back to the NBA for a 19th season, it is safe to say that fans are loving this revitalized version of Howard and the fun he’s having over in Taiwan.
