These girl-propositions-an-athlete videos are becoming a bit of an epidemic, aren't they? Today we have Margo. She is a junior at the University of Central Florida who dreams to one day be a pediatrician. And has she got a deal for Dwight Howard. Margo admits to stealing the idea from our sorority girl friend, but she doesn't want a date. She wants straight cash, homey. More »

I bet, when you heard that Dwight Howard asked for a trade from Orlando to the Lakers, Mavericks, or Nets, you thought he was a front-runner. (OK, the Nets aren't so "front," but they do offer nearly unlimited access to Jay-Z and Howard could live in Manhattan.) You thought Dwight Howard only wanted what was hot. You thought Dwight Howard wanted to chase championships without having to put any effort in. More »

100, 55, 20,000. Even casual basketball fans know Wilt Chamberlain's most famous records by heart. Yet the Stilt lost claim to one of his lesser-known NBA marks last night when Orlando's Dwight Howard went to the free-throw line 39 times, smashing the previous record of 34. More »

Everything is happening. David Aldridge reports that the Orlando Magic are considering filing tampering charges against two other teams for having contact with Dwight Howard. SI's Sam Amick says the teams are Houston and New Jersey, and that Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov may have met with Howard yesterday. More »

This morning the Magic held a hastily arranged press conference to announce the retirement of CEO Bob Vander Weide after nearly 20 years with the club. Team officials maintained that the move had been planned for months, and had nothing to do with a 1 a.m. phone call Vander Weide made to Dwight Howard. Vander Weide said he had drunk "two, maybe three glasses of wine over three hours," but denies he was intoxicated. More »

Dwight. Dwight, are you awake? Pick up, man. Dwight, man, I shouldn't be calling you. My buddy says it's too late to be calling anyone, but I just had to tell you. I..love you, Dwight. You're one of my best friends. You know that? I never told anyone that, but you are like the greatest guy. More »

I assume this is the kind of true romance—for which NBA players, Dwight especially—are known, the Harlequin stuff that necessitated Basketball Wives. Having never watched the program, I assume it's all about the refined courtship techniques of professional basketball players. Such as this. More »

Dwight Howard went on the Spanish talk show El Hormiguero this week, for some unknown reason. For other unknown reasons — Dalí, quizás? — he arrived in a red wig and attempted to put on a tiny T-shirt. We'd rather not know the details here. There's much more of this to sit through, if you care to, but you probably don't — and none of it reveals where the hell Howard will be playing a year from now anyway. More »

The Orlando Sentinel has spent some time today getting to the bottom of that beef we all forgot ever existed because it centered around a nickname and involved the two NBA players most closely related to Dennis the Menace, and is thus more of a semi-competitive thumb war than anything resembling true beef. But alas, we are returning, hopefully for the final time, to Shaquille O'Neal, Dwight Howard, and the long-forgotten battle for the right to being called "Superman." More »

The Magic were upset by Atlanta in the first round, but Dwight Howard, the broadest-shouldered 13-year-old trapped in a 25-year-old's body on planet earth, would not let it ruin his trip to Disney World last weekend. Until, at least, a few days later, when he found the time to call out the Orlando Sentinel for "tryna push [him] out" of the city and away from Chewbacca. More »

The NBA Playoffs start with four games on today's schedule.
