[CourtsideTV]

"I feel great"

"Im very confident. We get back to orlando..my team and i have workout scheduled and we going to stick to it and cant wait to get going."

"Well you know we gonna play same way like last year in american games. we lookin forward to having a lot of fun..very tough but we looking to overcome all obstacles and win gold medal"

"Well i cant wait to get going..gonna be a lot of fun. we have a great team. my job is to control the paint and im going to do the best to block shots and rebound"

"Well i think the reason it will change is because we been together for 3 years. we learning the game at a very high pace. coach K and rest of coaches done an excellent job in minicamp and teaching us the game"

"We are ready"

"whose the most you excited about"
wow..uh well....its hard to play favorites..i would say..wooh thats a tough one..i like kobe..i'd go with kobe..lebron or...smiles..everyone on the team...

on kobe saying gold over nba....

world championship is more important than NBA ring...you represent your country and everything I stand for...you put your personal goals aside and do what you do for your country. winning gold medal is the biggest honor and biggest thing is my life..

thats coolll with meee.

hockey type injury

hes feeling great

july 31 start of training camp

very confidence he'll be ready

has a workout schedule in orlando, looks forward to it

coach k they will play same way they did last year

will have a lof of fun

very togh for them, they want to win gold medal

guarding unique big men, face up instead of post up

looks forward to get started protect paint, block shots, he knows his role on great team

they've been together for 3 years, learning the game at fast pace, coaches have done great job teaching them international game, d'antoni helped too

kobe, lebron, wade, he is most excited to play with "oh wow" its hard, ill say he likes kobe, probably go with kobe or lebron...

olympic gold or nba title: i would say as far as accomplishing big time, world championship, representing your country, what stand for, put everything personal goals aside, concentrate on trying to win for the country, happiest days of his life

they will talk a little bit off the court later on....

lol what are they gonna ask him?

[theTHIEF]

does he know that we drafted Courtney Lee? He should be more excited about coming to play with him than this Olympic thing...gosh man, priorities...

[CourtsideTV]

lol..dwight just did some napoleon dynomite impersonatiosn..hahaah

[CourtsideTV]

dwight doing batman impersonations is classic.

[magicfan4life05]

lol espn really milking the viewers sticking around to watch howard, they said we ask you a few questions a little later, its been an hour since...

[LBPTarHeel27]

Nice to see Dwight is getting some push. The Dunk Contest finally brought him to the attention of everyone...not just of his talent, but his personality. We have seen it for a few years now...but I would expect to see a lot more of Dwight on TV now. A lot more.

[LBPTarHeel27]

Also, now with the Olympic team...my sig has new meaning.

How can anyone stop Superman AND Batman?

[CourtsideTV]

goals for his life:

win gold medal
gain one for magic (respect)
become a better man for his son.

he writes goals every year.
