The ending was not a happy one, but no one could deny how great of a player that center Dwight Howard was during his tenure with the Orlando Magic.
One of the best in franchise history, Howard made six All-Star Games as a member of the Magic and became the first player in NBA history to win Defensive Player of the Year in three straight seasons. In eight seasons with Orlando, Howard led the NBA in rebounding four times, blocks twice and field goal percentage once.
Howard was durable for most of his tenure, but battled injury during his final season with the Magic.
