WASHINGTON—Dwight Howard sure does know how to say the right things. “The mindset is winning,” the three-time Defensive Player of the Year said in his introductory press conference, explaining why the Wizards were the right fit. This is where he wants to be, he claims. He plans on playing for eight more seasons and wants them all to be in a Wizards uniform.
He claims to have known that they were from the beginning. He already loves the city. He has family and friends in town. He even brought them to the press conference.
