Dwight Howard accomplished a great and many things during his Orlando Magic career. Howard was a three-time Defensive Player of the Year and left as the franchise’s all-time leader in points, rebounds and blocks.
One of the most iconic moments from his tenure was the one that took place on this day 15 years ago. With no time remaining, Howard slammed home an inbounds pass to lift the Magic to a thrilling 106-104 victory over the San Antonio Spurs.
Before Howard’s memorable slam on Feb. 9, 2007 came a stellar defensive play to preserve the lead. With the contest tied 104-104, the Spurs had the ability to hold for the last shot.
