Howard’s Odyssey: Dwight Howard and his fall from All-Star to afterthought

There’s an episode of How I Met Your Mother that serves as a sad metaphor for Dwight Howard.

In “The Time Travelers” — a super out there episode featuring future versions of Ted, Barney and the previously seen only once before character Coat Check Girl — future Ted and future Barney try to convince present day Ted to go to Robots versus Wrestlers. The future Ted and Barneys are unable to talk present day Ted into going to the show, and he tells Barney he’s going to go home. Barney’s cool with it, which surprises Ted because normally in situations like this, Barney would tell Ted that life is short and to seize every moment before it’s gone.
