Starting center of the 2008 gold medal Olympic basketball team. How would you like to have that one on your resume? Well, someone does, and his name is Dwight Howard. It’s been over a week since his broad chest first donned the gold medal, but not much has changed for the Magic’s star 22-year-old since then. He’s still the same old D-12, mingling with hundreds of kids at basketball camps and joking with the media.


My body is doing great,” he said. “I tried to do the best I can for about a week to stay up at night, you know, so I could get accustomed to coming back to America.”

As he returns to the Magic, he may just be poised for his best season ever. He believes his body is rested, and he learned a lot during his time at the Olympics.

I did get a great chance to work with Chris Bosh and Carlos Boozer and we worked out every day just on the offensive end.

... and the best quote from Howard:
My goal is going to be the same this year as always, to win the championship,” he said. “That’s always my goal, so it’s not going to stop until we get it. If you’re not trying to win… the championship, then why play? That’s our mission is to win the championship, so we’re not going to stop until we get it.

I believe that the only reason his game has improved each year is because of his play with the other elite NBA players. Im glad he brought home the gold, but hopefully Bosh and Booze helped him with his 12 ft. and elbow js.
