Dwight is a DAD!!!

No joke, the mother is a former Magic dancer, Royce. Congrats Dwight!

Reed was a member of the Magic's dance team at least during the 2005-2006 season, according to club's Website. She danced for the Miami Heat during the 2006-07 season, according to the Heat's Website.

Juanita Reed, Royce Reed's mother, said the baby, Braylon, was born Nov. 18 in Orlando, three weeks early.

"She's doing great," Juanita Reed said Friday. "Royce and Dwight are very happy. They are very good friends. How close they are, well, you'd have to talk to them. I'm just the grandma. It was not something that was planned. It was a beautiful surprise, though."


wow that was unexpected. Looks like Dwight was busy! LOL

Uh oh, here comes the Slantinel. Is Larry Guest still in Orange Tree?

lol, I wonder if this article is the first his parents have heard about it.

Funny that the consensus all-time favorite Magic Dancer on here (unless Meagan has taken that title, although I remember Royce being very popular) gets taken by our golden boy.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

At first I was really happy for him, but now I think Dwight **** up looking at how much child support wealthy people have to give.

That's quite a job of keeping a secret! The kid is almost 2 months old. Hmm.. both parents are athletic types. I wonder how big he is.

mixed emotions on my part. Hopefully she isnt just looking for a meal ticket. Id hate to see someone do that to Dwight who seems to be a genuine nice guy. Even though he can afford it, I dont like seeing people take advantage of others.

They were probably just friends who benefited a few times. It's really not a big deal. Those of you who thought Dwight was a virgin were nuts. He's a "decent christian boy" but he's 22 and he's rich. ****. lol.

To me it was more like "C'mon at least use a glove." But I dont really know the circumstances and if it came down to not wearing one then well its just as much his as it is her fault. Congrats Dwight. Youll get you're first fathers day soon.

Damn, Dwight's slightly younger than me and has a kid.....even now I know I'm no where near ready for that type of responsibility.

Good luck to him.

I don't think he did anything wrong. I just hope she's not a golddigger. I'm surprised no one's happy for him.

Yup you never know. For all we know a condom could have broken. But they are adults, they knew what they were doing. Looks like it wasnt a serious relationship but I dont see it as that big a deal, like i said they are adults. Im just glad it wasent Meghan, stay away from her Dwight i got dibs on her lol


Here is his quote from that article:

"I'm not going to deny it. Yes, I have a son," Howard said. "It's just my personal life. Yes, I'm excited about it, but I'd like to keep my personal life personal."
