Thanks guys!

[@M1K3Ywin]

This was much needed for Dwight's legacy. Media slandered tf out this man and dragged him thru the mud. Glad to see All the Smoke dropping the truth bombs

[@loganxd9024]

Foreal they did that for his whole career

[@MacMixedThatShxt]

STG this is why Showtime is gonna take over sports media fr. Players know where the real is

[@claudebooker4505]

I agree that the slander for Dwight was crazy and unjustified to that degree but don’t you think he was stretching the truth a bit in some of his stories? Maybe I was interpreting a bit much into it but at times you can tell that Jack didn’t buy some of these stories. Lol Dwight is one of the freakiest athletes I’ve ever seen so I doubt policemen, firemen and whoever the fuck else acccording to D12 told him that he won’t make it 😂

[@arvindmega]

How he didn't make the NBA top 75 is ming boggling. Media slander did it to him. He deserves to be there.

This is the best version of Dwight. Never understood all the hate he received. This dude was a dominant center for 6 years at the highest level of his sport. Averaged a double-double for 14 years!

[@christopherhenderson6623]

i use to look up dwight when i was a kid. he was my GOAT. he was my motivation i lost 225 pounds because of the workouts he showed me. he got me tickets to see him play one time and we been locked in ever since.. he's misunderstood in a major way, he's the most genuine human alive..

[@moriordan85]

Everyone looks up to him .... He's 7 foot

[@benedictreyes8270]

Man Dwight should be on the 75 greatest players list!

[@jordanyoung6385]

This just might be the best episode from his story telling to how in depth he goes or even the stories he told and kept the humor going the entire time big ups to Dwight

[@ohgee1379]

The one he did with Knuckleheads is good also

[@Mckylan]

I love Dwight. He is so misunderstood and his back injury was really serious. I knew it was bad but to almost be paralyzed is crazy. He is just good vibes and energy and he deserves his respect. He is no question a top 75 player of all time and his prime will not be forgotten. Also I love that he mentioned Young Nudy and other ATL artists.

[@topshotta2000]

Misunderstood 4sho smh

how tf is Melo and Lillard in the 75, while Klay and Dwight isn't there?

[@FireAngelChris]

Lol Kobe didn’t have him traded though. Dwight had the leverage,remember LA was begging him to stay then he left to sign with the Rockets. That decision actually kept major free agents away from LA. Like Bron signing in LA was huge for Lakers brand.

[@SneakerheadAD]

The NBA did this man dirty. Should've made that top 75 team. Dwight was underrated in my eyes.

[@Miczael]

Dwight Howard is hands down my favorite player ever! I wouldn’t be an NBA fan if it wasn’t for you. You’re such an inspiration to all of us!! Keep on being great!!

[@anon111-q6o]

Dwight forever one of my childhood super heroes. This episode hit home for me. Unfortunate that the next gen fails to give him his flowers. Glad to see 12 in good spirits. Cannot wait to see what ATS has in store going forward.

Straight beast on Orlando freak of nature ‼️

Fun fact; I remember meeting Dwight rookie season and I didn’t know who he was 😂. Crazy and I lived in Orlando at the time. And was a fan of basketball; including the Magic.

Dwight’s Shaq impressions are HILARIOUS!!!! I cannot!

Got mad love for Dwight. Had to like before the vid even started. One of the best Centers of my generation …was a monster in Orlando..got his head right and came to win a ring with the Lakers 🤞🏽🤞🏽

I thought this episode was going to be funny as hell. Don’t get me wrong, it is. But Dwight is so much more than the jokes. He expresses gratitude, empathy and really just a well rounded human. I’m so glad i watched this! This show is fantastic.

[@dmoney8890]

Great interview-almost didn’t watch due to media portrayal of him over the years. Thanks for the 1st-person version (allowing athletes to tell their own stories)🔥🔥🔥

[@CarCrazy24]

Dwight was amazing. Thank you for the great Kobe stories, meant a lot. And that 2020 title was a great run, wouldn’t have done it without Dwight. But Kobe should be the logo. No one in the history of the game dedicated their life to the game itself more than KB.

[@bigboydev7114]

Was legit the best Center in the league for a good 6 years. If he’s not a first ballot HOFer the league buggin. Dwight was a big part of my early years watching hoops. All time respect 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@ChikisaMal28]

It was an 8 year window. Because he still was the best center even while injured with the Lakers. You remember when they were comparing Andrew bynum who was challenging for the best center title

[@bigboydev7114]

@@ChikisaMal28 I’d say from the 07’-12’ season he was the best. Dwight’s first year to 04’ was Shaq and 05’ and 06’ was Yao. Then Boogie broke out in the 13’ season which was Dwight’s last really good season

[@FireAngelChris]

@@ChikisaMal28 Yup up until 2015 that’s when he stop being the best. From 07-14

[@FireAngelChris]

@@bigboydev7114 Naw Dwight was still the best center up until 2015 season started. He was sensational in 2014 season

[@dmiles8406]

I truly loved this episode being a die hard NBA fan since 1991 I’ve always thought Dwight Howard was super talented and extremely nice. Anyone who’s ever seen him could tell that he’s cheerful and easy going with a fun loving spirit. I’m a Laker fan as well and I felt they didn’t treat him well nor play him enough. I haven’t seen any deterioration in Dwight’s skills. I was also a U.S. Marine for many years so I respected him for his 10 day excursion and understand what he went through. I must admit I don’t know what made him want to do it. Praying 🙏🏾 he stays healthy and so sorry to hear about the pain he’s played through for people void of empathy and sympathy. Great interview! I was supposed to see this because I am such a fan of Dwight and Matt!

[@dmiles8406]

Thank goodness I saw “The Redeem Team” as soon as D. Wade said it would be on Netflix! Loved every second of it!

Now I really like this DH. He was serious and kept it real and still hit us with his humor. At one point in time DH was a beast and one of the best in the NBA during his prime time. I am rooting for you big fella.

[@robreyez]

Lovin them bringing back all these controversial peeps, letting them speak the truth. All the Smoke on fire.

[@EmiliosFather]

Crazy how big fella gets so much hate…crazy. Dude DOMINATED his peers. Best Center since Shaq & Hakeem. & he’d lock Jocker tf up

Whole different perspective with regard to Dwight! Media certainly missed it… I now understand this man’s greatness and he still has much to offer for the NBA or any other athletic endeavor! Play on sir!

Always loved how Bron said he could play every position, and yet never tried to guard DH during that series. They were about the same size and Bron let DH a guy that was not a great scoring offensive player to beat that Cavs team. That show you how scared Bron was of guys like DH and Timmy D.
