Dwight Howard will continue his career in Taiwan

Eight-time All-Star Dwight Howard will continue his career in Taiwan. Howard will play for the island’s top division team, Taoyuan Leopards.

“I’m looking forward to meeting the fans, tasting the local food and having the best time… of course winning the championship”, – the 36-year-old CF wrote on the social network.

Along with baseball, basketball is the most popular sport in Taiwan, with both boys’ and girls’ school championships broadcast live. Dwight Howard had the best period of his career with the Orlando Magic, but he was able to win a championship ring in 2020 with the Lakers.

Details of Dwight’s contract with the Leopards have not been disclosed yet.

I, Armaz Akhvlediani, work as a journalist for Setanta Sports. I'm writing analytical articles, about socio-economic and political influences on football, besides - blogs and reviews. Before that, I worked as a contributing writer for Liberali, National Geographic and Radio Freedom. I'm one of the founders and chief editors of a literature magazine - "Daraji" (Watchmen). Since I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in comparative literature, I am keen on providing the readers and viewers with some fresh perspective – the articles I write often compare sports events with those presented in literary works, finding similarities and eventually arriving at earlier unexplored destinations through less travelled roads.
