Dwight Howard Leaving #12 Behind

Howard says he will change uniform number with Hawks

The newest Hawks player will apparently no longer wear his uniform No. 12. Howard appeared on the NBA TV broadcast of the Hawks’ Las Vegas Summer League game against the Rockets on Friday. He said on the air that he will change his number from the one he has worn his entire professional career.

Howard would not reveal the new number. He said only that it will be biblical and have deep meaning.


So, there goes the D-12 nickname. Kinda funny, considering how Tobias Harris wearing #12 for the Magic seemed to bother him a couple of years ago. Good for him and all, I guess, but the real change for the better would be an improved attitude and post game.

I think he he played Captain Kirk one on one for the number and lost, and it was a game of post up moves only.

316 or what. Makes it sound as though it's a number no one has worn before. :?

Pretty sure 69 is banned. I'm sure many players have asked for it and Rodman definitely tried to get it in his later years

He can change numbers, he can change teams...but he can't change what he is.

If you've got beef with Steve Nash, that says enough. Nash was the athletic big-man whisperer. This guy won't ever win a ring.

Wonder if Sauru will catch some live games now that he's in the ATL.

Well, seems he's finally taking some inspiration from Kobe after all!

As much as I don't like Dwight, I have to swallow my pride and hope he does well for my hometown team.

Since i know nothing about the bible, via google:
"The number eight in the Bible signifies Resurrection and Regeneration. It is the number of a new beginning."
