The Atlanta Hawks suffered an early season losing skid that saw them lose 7 straight games. However, recently they have turned things around and currently sit at (12-12) after defeating the Bucks this evening 114-110. One of the main contributors for this year's team has been 1st year Hawk Dwight Howard. Howard is no stranger to Atlanta, as his basketball career kicked off as a high school prodigy from the ATL. Now 31 year's old, the dominate big man has returned home and has not only rejuvenated the team, but his style of play as well. He is currently averaging over 13 points per game and 12 boards per game, while making a solid front-court duo with Paul Millsap. We had the opportunity to catch up with Dwight Howard for an interview this morning, following the team's Shoot-Around in Milwaukee. In the interview we discuss: The season, him becoming a Hawk, his journey, and much more! Check it out below!
