Dwight Howard has put his money where his mouth is — he will not just play in Taiwan, he will own part of the team and league.
“Last year after the first game I played in Taiwan I looked over at Mu Real and said, ‘Man, I’m going to start my OWN league one day where former NBA players, top college recruits and elite international players can still get a stage to showcase to the world how great they are. He looked at me crazy but one day is NOW!” Howard wrote on Instagram.
He’s trying to recruit other players to join him.

Howard, 38, has played overseas since we last saw him in the NBA as part of the 2021-22 Lakers. The future Hall of Famer is not ready to give up playing hoop, at least not yet.
