Howard gets video tribute, mixed reaction in return to Houston
Rockets/Twitter
The Dwight Howard experiment in the Lone Star State during his three seasons with the Houston Rockets certainly had its highs and lows, culminating in a 41-41 campaign - one year after winning 56 games - and first-round exit last season.
In his return to the Toyota Center on Thursday night as a member of the Atlanta Hawks, Howard was treated to a somewhat mixed reaction when the Rockets played a video tribute honoring his time in Houston during a break in play.
The package included footage of some of his on-court highlights, as well as his work with children in the community, which even the most disgruntled fan couldn't find reason to hate on.
