The best big man
NBA player Dwight Howard wants to be Superman for more than just one day out of the year.
Howard is the talented Orlando Magic center who put on a red cape and an "S" on his shirt while winning the 2008 NBA Slam Dunk Competition. But he doesn't want to be just the NBA's best big man — he wants to be the best player, with improved maturity and court awareness.
He's only 22, but Howard is already the Magic's leader. At the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Howard fought to defend American basketball's honor, although he was more of a role player than a superstar on the American team. But that has only fueled his hunger: "Got a gold medal now. Time to win a championship."
Magic's point guard Jameer Nelson said: "He has come back a lot more mature and he's holding us all to a higher standard now."
Howard also wears specially-designed shoes with a Superman logo and is the most dominant player on court – he looks for ways to dunk nearly every time he can. "I know that is my bread and butter... can't get away from that," Howard explained.
On February 14, Howard will defend his dunk crown at the 2009 Slam Dunk competition to be held on NBA All-Star Night.
In fact, his towering height and skills have caused people to compare him to a young Shaq. Shaquille O'Neal once said that when he retired, it would be the end of power players in the NBA. He pointed out that players like Yao Ming and Dirk Nowitzki use skills more than strength.
But people say Howard proves this is not the case. "I think Dwight is more of an old style center like Shaq. He loves to grab rebounds (籃板球) and play aggressively," said former Magic player Grant Hill.
Although Howard may play like Shaq, he doesn't act like him. Shaq has a loud personality and loves media attention. Howard, on the other hand, has a gentle personality. He was raised in a conservative family and doesn't use bad language.
He participated in several NBA "Read to Achieve" assemblies (集會), which encourage children to make reading a priority.
