Based on his comments on Twitter and elsewhere, eight-time NBA All-Star Dwight Howard feels he’s been written off of late by some fans and media.

Howard looks like a future Hall of Famer, but the Atlanta Hawks dumped him after a single season playing in his hometown. The Hawks traded him to the Charlotte Hornets for Marco Belinelli and an awful contract for Miles Plumlee. What the Hawks accepted demonstrates there wasn’t much of a market for the first overall pick in the 2004 draft.

Howard maintains he’s fired up about this fresh start in Charlotte. Could that translate into Howard being selected to the 2018 All-Star Game, to be played at Spectrum Center?
