Dwight Howard is a rare individual. Because he was just like LeBron James from last year, an Naismtih, McDonald’s national high school player of the year. Then to top it all off, he was selected by the Orlando Magic as the #1 draft pick in the NBA draft this past month. Then to mention the real fact that he really stands out is because he’s taking a bold, public stand on his faith . “I’m not trying to give glory for myself. I’m trying to give glory for Him.” Remember, this kid is just 18-years-old, but with an attitude like that, there’s no telling what God might do with him.

His favorite song is a gospel hymn, “Praise is What I Do.” And when someone asks for his autograph, Howard writes “God bless” alongside his signature, so that he can “let people know that everything that they’ve gotten is because of God.”

“This is the first time an athlete will be able to overcome what (former San Antonio Spurs center David Robinson) couldn’t do,” said Sonny Vaccaro, the Reebok executive who has been running the Roundball Classic for the past 40 years. “David was a leader in the crusade of being religious and being a great athlete, but Dwight’s plan could work because we’re in an era of niche marketing. He’s taking a stand saying, ‘I’m going to do this and some company is going to buy into it,’ and that fact is that these companies have millions and billions of dollars to brand Dwight as their hero.
