In introductory presser, Howard says he wants to retire with Wizards

Dwight Howard has yet to play a single game for the Washington Wizards, but he’s already prepared to spend the rest of his career in the District.

Yes, really.

That might seem strange coming from a guy on his fifth team in four seasons, though at his introductory press conference, Howard said Monday he plans to play eight more years in the NBA, all with the Wizards.

And in true Howard fashion, he explained why with a corny joke — one that prompted a fair share of snarky tweets and a few genuine laughs.
