After expressing his desire to return to the NBA, Dwight Howard has yet to find himself a spot on a team. As his NBA dreams are currently at a standstill, the Orlando Magic legend recently announced the release of his podcast, which was seen by more than 2.5 million people. As things were going well for the 2020 NBA champion, Howard recently felt exposed to something that he has struggled with in the past.
Having experienced the downside of manufactured stories from the fans and the media during his first stint with the Los Angeles Lakers, Dwight Howard recently issued a warning to all his fans to not give their ears to anything said about him.

Dwight Howard recently made the announcement of his podcast, D12 Above The Rim. While making the announcement on Twitter, Dwight added a few words that have got the fans running wild with their imagination. Howard said that he has a lot of crazy stories to share with his fans.
Although this could be looked at as a way to invoke intrigue and interest in his podcast, fans and media have started their own narrative online. Having been on the receiving end of negative stories, Howard was quick to issue a warning to his fans. Back in 2017, Howard revealed that the apparent beef between him and Kobe Bryant was made up by the media as a way to sell why the team was losing even with the roster that they had.
But back then, Howard did not want to face the issues head-on, so he left the team after one season. But now, Howard is not willing to let the media control the narrative, as he has publicly expressed his frustration.
Recently, the 8x All-Star tweeted, “Stop posting things and acting like it came from me smh ! Too many lies ! How do they quote me without me saying or doing anything 🤦🏾♂️“.
