Putting the three big players in one team surely caused a lot fuzz in the NBA community. LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh are the Big Three in Miami that strong contenders like Orlando Magic will have to defeat if they want to win the Eastern Conference finals. But Dwight Howard, defensive player of the year, refuses to comment on the new power trio. He doesn’t say much when asked about the Big Three during the basketball camp that started just days ago. He seems unfazed by the power trio, though it’s quite obvious that his team will have a more difficult time making it to the championship with the new ensemble. Whether or not he’s feeling the “heat,” the NBA will never be the same for the next season. Howard said that for the team to grab the championship trophy next season, they have to focus and have the same thing in mind. Every player in the court should do their job and make a good play for the team. Instead of commenting on the Big Three in Miami, Howard said that the Orlando Magic has a Big Two of their own, that is Stan Van Gundy, their coach, and assistant Patrick Ewing. What’s Howard up to? Dwight Howard is busy with basketball camps and sponsorship events in China. His next stop will be Senegal for the Basketball without Borders camp in Africa of the NBA. He’s also set to go to India for some promotional tours for the league. After the Magic failed to grab the Eastern Conference finals, Howard had been working out with Hakeem Olajuwon in Texas, after getting an invitation from the Hall of Famer. The workouts, according to the defensive player, did help him improve his game, especially since he needs to do better with his mid-range jumpers and post moves. He’ll do another round of workouts with Olajuwon before that start of the new season. Howard shares that during the workouts, he was made to realize that he has to shed his fears and be not afraid to do anything in court. According to Olajuwon, Howard is afraid of doing other things he can possibly do after seeing the defensive player during his games. He worked on some of his games with Olajuwon, who encouraged him not to be scared of anything. While there are some parts of his basketball game he’s afraid to explore, Howard is not at all adraid to do other stuff than basketball. He said that he doesn’t want to be typecast solely as an NBA player, so he’s been trying his hand on things off the court. Latetly, he’s been seen in movies and has been doing some stints in TV. He’s been spending time in Hollywood as well during the summer. With so many things going on, Howard obviously hasn’t thought of taking things slow and simply relax at his Florida home.
