Jumper like Carmelo, three like Curry, penetrating like Rose :lol:

I'm happy watching this

Pretty cool! Glad for him. Hope he has an amazing time playing over there, and that he becomes a local legend!

The numbers are exactly what they should be. I'd expect nothing less from D-12 in that league. I just hope they won the game! OT?!? Sounds like it was a close call. Dwight should be able to win 90% or more of his games this season, in my opinion. (Maybe I'm wrong.)

As someone who lived in TW for 5.5 years, it's great to see that full, lively arena. And I like Howard way more just for playing there at all: a friend of Taiwan's is a friend of mine. But I really hope he takes it seriously and gives his all.

He will beat Wilt's 20,000 record by the end of next year.

Would be funny if Dwight developed a solid three point shot in Taiwan and came back to the NBA as a center who can hit the three consistently.

Taiwan is going to have an excellent national team in about 20 years...

He's 16/40 over his last three seasons

. Of course people also aren't guarding him from 3PT range. At 37 though, and 38 by December of next season, an NBA return is very unlikely.

Are you talking about basketball only?

Heck, Taiwan will be the #1 nation in Olympic gold medals in 20 years!

It looks like he's enjoying life there. Here he is eating his way through the night market. He will definitely be a local hero.

Yeah, he's going to have it good over there. He's very charismatic so I'm sure he'll have offers for much more than basketball.

I've been saying this....Wilt wouldn't average more than 15ppg in this generation.

Lakers re-sign Dwight pronto asap stat.

Its gotta be fun as a basketball player to dominate like that

And not a smile in the highlights. Maybe in a couple of games.

He forced OT with that block, he is a winning player as usual!

Speaking as someone who has dominated far more than that, I can tell tell you it's ridiculously fun.

Dwight had more people watching than I did, though, which probably adds a lot to the fun factor.
