Yes, finally! After getting run out of Houston for trying to be a dominant post-up player with limited post-up moves and a distinct inability to make free, unguarded shots from half as far away, Dwight Howard has finally decided that he's going to be a viable three point threat! If only versatile big men who were able to stretch the floor weren't a brand new phenomenon that literally just started to become a primary focus in the NBA then he could have started working on his triple years ago! It's really unfortunate when you think it. He was just trying to bang away in the paint and his preferred style of basketball was unknowingly antiquated and completely inefficient. If this were common knowledge prior to his season ending then I have to imagine that he surely would have stopped begging for the ball with his back to the basket. 

I guess we should just let the past be the past and focus on the future, because Dwight Howard is about to make Steph Curry look like DeMar Derozan. It's only a matter of time before he feels at home from long range, and makes us forget about a decade's worth of missed jumpers. You heard the man. He's officially focusing on shooting now, and that will surely make up for the last 13 years in which he apparently wasn't. The man whose known for stretching the truth is about to stretch the floor, and every team that will gladly leave him standing all by his lonesome 30 feet from the basket is about to find out the hard way that Dwight Howard can do anything when he puts the effort that he inherently lacks into it.
