It's not happening. People have a hard enough time going up and competing with calvin johnson for those jump balls, who is 6 inches shorter than dwight and the same vertical leap. if dwight howard trained to play football since he was a young boy, the guy would be the most intimidating player in the NFL today. No offensive lineman would be able to block him. Not even a chance. Dwight Howard would knock out ANY player in the NFL or NBA in a street fight.
