Dwight Howard is still hoping to land a deal in the NBA for next season. If he doesn’t, Howard has an interesting backup plan.
The eight-time All-Star says he’s ready to start his WWE career if he can’t find an NBA contract for this upcoming season. Howard said he’s still passionate about basketball and that he has “several good years left” to play in the NBA.
The WWE Performance Center, where new wrestlers are trained, is located in Orlando. That symmetry with his NBA career wasn’t lost on Howard. The three-time Defensive Player of the Year said, “Imagine after starting my NBA career in Orlando, if I started my wrestling career in Orlando?”
