John Wall is well aware of the reputation that Dwight Howard carries in NBA circles.
Howard, who signed with the Wizards last week, has been called difficult, immature, among other things. The 32-year-old is now on his fourth team in four seasons, or fifth including a brief stint with the Brooklyn Nets.
The Wizards’ star point guard has heard all of that. But when he was searching for players to join the Wizards this summer, Howard’s reputation didn’t stop Wall from reaching out.
“I talked to him throughout the whole process,” Wall said Sunday at Nationals Park.
