Dwight's mom had seven miscarriages before he was born. Dwight was born two months early.

Yeah, I saw that on NBA TV a few days ago.

2 months early and the size he was is crazy.

A blessing in disguise.

My guess is fertility drugs. Could explain a lot...

I remember reading about the miscarriages thing. His mother refers to him as the miracle child and that he was truly destined for greatness.

I'm inclined to agree.

2 months early and the size he was is crazy.


My brother was born 3 months premature and is 6'6 and about 250lbs. I was born 6 weeks early and I'm 6'11 and probably about 280.

I believe Dwight's younger brother is tall and of a similar build to Dwight (tall and broad shouldered) as well? Good genes from Mama Howard.

I'm premature by 2 1/4. I don't have any of these physical blessings you guys speak of. But I am proud to at least walk and on occasion play some softball and basketball. On a nice day I am about 5"10.
