The Brooklyn Nets have played at Barclays Center for the past 11 seasons and impressively, they have made the playoffs in eight of those seasons thanks to some great players that have been on the team throughout the years. It looks like there was one great player who wanted to play for Brooklyn during that span.
Former NBA great Dwight Howard said in a recent interview with Complex Magazine that he wanted to come to Brooklyn “so many times” during his playing days. Howard, the first overall pick in the 2004 NBA Draft, played in the league from 2004 to 2022 and during his career, he won Defensive Player of the Year three times and made an All-NBA team eight times.
Howard said that in his attempt to join the Nets, he was allegedly told no because “they wanted a big who could shoot”. While Howard was one of the most dominant big men in the history of the Association, he did shoot 21.4% from three-point land and 56.7% from the free-throw line.
