Dwight Howard remains 0 for 30 with NBA teams this offseason, but he’s not giving up just yet.
Howard, an eight-time All-Star center, took to Instagram on Saturday with a league-wide message. Howard posted a video of himself riding a stationary bike vigorously and added the caption “when you’re in the best shape of your life but still a free agent.”
“It’s okay because I BELIEVE in myself,” Howard wrote in the caption of his post. “#trust the process #motivation”
Howard, who turns 37 in December, has transitioned quite gracefully into a full-time bench role in recent seasons. He averaged 6.2 points and 5.9 rebounds in 16.2 minutes per game for the Los Angeles Lakers last year (all career lows), but he was still efficient and selfless with the touches. that he got.
But Howard has earned a reputation in recent years as a poor teammate and has had six separate one-year stints with all different teams (the Lakers twice) since 2016. The payoff may not be worth giving anymore. to Howard a spot on the NBA roster. But rest assured, you’ll still see it on TV regardless.
