"Houston We Have Liftoff."

     For the past couple years, Dwight Howard has been struggling. Now with Dwight going into his third team in three years lets take a moment to look back at how all this started. Dwight Howard, all star center for the Orlando Magic was on top of the world taking the Magic to an NBA finals all by himself. In the 2011 season, Dwight Howard and coach Stan Van Gundy started to have troubles. Dwight Howard denied trying to get coach Stan Van Gundy fired saying, "I hate to see anyone fired." When clearly he demanded coach Van Gundy be fired.

    In the 2011 offseason Dwight Howard signed with Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers. A team expected to take off. Dwight Howard and Kobe Bryant just couldn't get it done together. Kobe nor Dwight was willing to take a smaller role on the team. With Kobe, who has made it very clear that he won't win a sixth ring anywhere else but in LA and Dwight Howard and Kobe Bryant clearly was not ever going to work. Dwight Howard signed with the Houston Rockets.
      Now Dwight Howard is officially a Houston Rocket. With Dwight signing his new four year 88 million dollar contract, and recently posting a picture on Instagram of him and his new teammate James Harden saying "Houston we have liftoff," this is where the new questions and opinions come into play. Will James Harden be able to share the spotlight? Will the Rockets make a playoff run? These questions dont offer much variety. As for James sharing the spotlight he can do it, he did with Russel Westbrook and Kevin Durant two of the NBA's best he can do it with the leagues best center. As well as James Harden being able to share the spotlight, I believe the Rockets can make a very solid playoff run. As mentioned earlier, Dwight took the Magic to an NBA finals and now that he has someone to do it with this will only make him better.
