Months before Dwight Howard’s triumphant transition to the Taiwanese basketball league, he took some time to reminisce about his dreams-turned-manifestations in the NBA. 

Sloane and Dwight discuss everything from him overcoming a candy addiction only a child could dream of, to his uncanny welcome into the NBA by the one and only Kobe Bryant. Dwight shares insightful and candid opinions about his NBA peers and even spars over a few NBA stats with our favorite 15-year-old. Press play to see if Sloane truly knows best, according to Superman himself.
