When Dwight Howard came into the league, straight out of high school, his main goal was not to follow the career path of Shaquille O’Neal, not to become the best center in a centerless league or to raise a championship banner for a struggling franchise but to “raise the name of God within the league and throughout the world.”

That actually sounds like a tougher goal than becoming the next Shaq and saving a franchise.

“I want to be able to speak to non-Christians so that I can get them saved or change their lives around.”

“I think I can make as much money or even more than LeBron. But it will be up to God for that to happen. If he wants me to market myself, then I’ll do it. I’m not trying to give glory for myself. I’m trying to give glory for Him.”

These are the words of a teenager without millions of dollars in his pocket and millions of women at his hotel door.  For all that we know, this was the intent and mentality of Dwight Howard when he came into the league but it didn’t take long for him to start enjoying the perks of being a rich and famous NBA player and ‘trying to change the lives” of many women.  6 women specifically.  The most recent being a woman named Christine Vest earlier this month who gave birth to Dwight’s 8th child (according to baby mama and Basketball Wives star Royce Reed) in the last 6 years.



Rumor is he does provide financial support for all his kids, which is something a lot of baby mamas of pro athletes can’t relate to, but he’s not “raising” most of these kids and I don’t think God or the Lakers will agree that he’s doing a great job at “raising the name of God within the league” or “saving” anybody.

Maybe things will change when he ends up in Houston, Dallas, Atlanta or that other team in the city of angels but as evident by Dwight’s journey so far, sometimes change isn’t always “good.”

8 kids by 6 different women is by you're taking a teenage quote and running with it

 

[addict4sneakers]

i think we can drop the whole "man of God" title when describing D12, because clearly he isn't living what he was kicking.

 

[aepps20]

Dang, Bizzaro's on the path to going broke two years after he retires with all those kids.

 

[jjs07]

He ain't even done yet....

Those monthly CS payments have to be approaching 6 figures total.

 

[victor page]

To be fair...that was his parents and old high school who were putting the press on him to give off that image. That wasn't his idea.

 

[carver]

He gonna go broke just from CS 

dumb

 

[mr jordan04]

He'll be broke within 5 years of leaving the league

With how thirsty the media is I'm actually surprised we haven't seen any cover stories like this recently:

So from 6 with 5 BMs to 8 all of a sudden???
Smdh...I remember when that innocent pic of him and that asian chick circulated yrs ago...its come to this? Does anyone have that pic from like 2005??

It has to be something he lived by because once he got out on his own, he started wilding out. From fighting over porn stars to knocking up every woman that would give him some. They aren't going to tell him to put on a condom. He's trying to be King Solomon but with none of the wisdom.

 

[aepps20]

After those CS payments Bizzaro will have to live in a shoe with John, Damien and that boy Jrue.

I've been getting all my sport feeds from NT lately. 

 

[antidope]

At least he's not running from it.

And you have to wonder if that will impact where he signs

I aint even mad at him.

I think he'll be fine money wise.

 

[dipsetgeneral]
