隨著 NBA 季後賽的臨近，聖安東尼奧馬刺隊和維克托·溫班亞馬繼續吸引著廣泛的關注，而這一次，德懷特霍華德為這一炒作增添了火力。在最近出現在雅虎體育節目中時，這位前全明星對這位馬刺球星發表了大膽的聲明。

他說：「溫比，我認為他至少會一直排名前三。」這一主張很難落地。這立即引發了爭論。這也為年輕的馬刺隊基石帶來了另一層期望。

德懷特·霍華德並沒有就此止步。他詳細闡述了這位馬刺天才球員的特別之處以及他認為上限如此之高的原因。

「我愛溫比，我認為他有機會成為最偉大的球員之一。我喜歡他攻擊籃框的方式。他在禁區裡扣籃一切。但如果你阻止他，他就會轉身並在你上方消失，你就無法阻止它。所以向溫比大聲喊叫，我認為馬刺隊，如果他健康的話，他們是我今年最有希望贏得總冠軍的球隊。」這一切希望贏得總冠軍。技能。多功能性。影響。全部覆蓋。

熱刺在維克多溫班亞馬 (Victor Wembanyama) 的帶領下勢頭強勁

由於這種信念，現在的焦點轉移到馬刺隊如何在最大的舞台上做出反應。聖安東尼奧馬刺隊以 62 勝 20 負的成績結束了賽季，鎖定了西部二號種子的位置。該記錄反映了一致性。它反映了對其係統的信任。更重要的是，它顯示了 Wembanyama 提升團隊的速度有多快。

明亮的燈光下，期待值上升。馬刺隊首輪對陣開拓者隊的比賽將考驗這種增長。季後賽籃球節奏放慢了。每一次擁有都很重要。儘管如此，溫班亞馬還是改變了節奏。他保護籃筐，延伸防守，並透過每次觸球迫使球隊做出調整。

同時，誤差幅度也在縮小。健康很重要。執行力更重要。如果一切順利，這支球隊就有真正的潛力取得長足發展。

那麼現在的問題是：馬刺隊和維克多溫巴尼亞馬能否在 NBA 季後賽開始時將大膽的讚揚轉化為聲明？

Former NBA star Dwight Howard officially announced his retirement through a post on social media. Howard posted a video montage of his life from a small child to now on Instagram and announced that it was finally time for him to hang up.

“Woke up today on the 12th of this month and thought it was time to move on from Superman!” Howard wrote on social media. “I’m not a super person… I cry! I struggle! I feel just like everyone else. Through lies, media and hate I still show love and smile through the storm.

“But now I’m retiring from all basketball to help my family and give back to communities around the world. I know some of you may think I thought I already ‘retired’, but I didn’t…the game retired me! I still have so much left to give!”

Dwight Howard said in his social media post that he wished he had a retirement tour like some of his teammates or played into his 40s, but his new mission is to support the next generation of players. He also said that in honor of his number, number 12, he is declaring the 12th of every month as ‘D12 Day’ where he will visit cities around the world and perform random acts of kindness.

Howard also revealed that he has a documentary in the works and plans to release it this year. The film is believed to show his journey from grade school to the NBA.

The No. 1 overall pick in the 2004 NBA draft, Howard had not appeared in the league since the 2021–22 season with the Los Angeles Lakers. He was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame last September.

During his 18 years in the NBA, he played for the Orlando Magic, Los Angeles Lakers, Houston Rockets, Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Hornets, Washington Wizards, and Philadelphia 76ers. His career averages are 15.7 points, 11.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.8 blocked shots.

“Dwight Howard last played in the NBA during the 2021-2022 Golden State Warriors championship season,” Green said. “Dwight got a lot of love, Orange Jacket Hall of Famer. You did it brother. You won the game. This ain’t no retirement tour, no farewell tour, you got it. You got the tour brother. It was to Springfield, Massachusetts. That was the tour. That’s the end of the game Dwight.”

Subsequently, Howard played four seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers, and one season with the Hawks, Hornets, Wizards and 76ers.

During this time, Howard became an eight-time NBA All-Star, a five-time NBA First Team member, and a three-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year. Additionally, he won an Olympic gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Games as part of the “Redeem Team”.

In 2020, he won the NBA championship with the Lakers.
