When Dwight Howard gets inducted into the Hall of Fame, he will be remembered for his phenomenal run with the Orlando Magic and winning a title with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020. He did spend a season with the Philadelphia 76ers in 2020-21.
Howard was the backup to Joel Embiid and provided good minutes for Philadelphia. He averaged 7.0 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 0.9 blocks while playing in 69 games at 17.3 minutes per night. As he prepares to enter the Hall, Howard will be remembered for his time with the Magic, but some will remember his time with the Sixers.

In terms of who will present Howard? Only one of the best big men to ever grace an NBA floor: New York Knicks legend Patrick Ewing.
Howard, who was shockingly left off the top 75 players of all time list for the league’s 75th anniversary, averaged 18.4 points, 13.0 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks during his run in Orlando while guiding the Magic to the finals in 2009.
