Superman Is In The Building

On Saturday night he was a bird. He was a plane. On any other day he averages 21 points, 14 rebounds and a sickening 2.4 blocks per a game. He's 6-11, 264 pounds. And get this: He's just 22. He's Dwight Howard. And what you just saw wasn't even his best dunk in the Slam Dunk Contest in New Orleans, La. It's amazing that just four years ago there was a debate on whether the Orlando Magic should take Howard or Emeka Okafor with the No.1 pick in the 2004 NBA Draft. He's not Superman. But the man who wears the cape is the cornerstone of his franchise--and the future of the NBA.
