Dwight Howard was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2025. Before Saturday’s enshrinement ceremony, Howard addressed being snubbed from the NBA’s 75th Anniversary Team.
When the NBA released its all-time top 75 players in 2021, Howard was among the notable omissions. In an interview with NBA TV on Saturday, he was asked about entering the Hall of Fame after not making the 75th Anniversary Team.
“The great part about it is I’m going in two times,” Howard said. “So, it’s like this (75th anniversary team), yes it hurt. It was like a big slap in the face and not be on that team… but to go in twice in the same year, man it’s like God said, ‘You know what, I’m gonna double pound you with a blessing.'”
