Howard recently took to his Instagram account and shared a story for his 3.4 Million followers. Sharing a clip recorded by skills coach Johnny Stephene, the video highlighted Howard, Draymond Green, Chicago Bulls star DeMar DeRozan and Chris Paul. The athletes were sweating it out at 6 AM in the morning. Dwight was on the far side of the football practice field, adorning a pair of pink shorts. ‘Point God’ CP3 was throwing the football to Howard. Hopefully Shaquille O’Neal doesn’t see this video.

The video comes just as the rumor mill is churning the news that the Golden State Warriors might look to sign Dwight. Howard had been invited for a two day interview with various members associated with the Stephen Curry-led team. His interview with the Warriors was already public knowledge. What stirred the attention of the fans was the news that Howard will be practicing alongside the top two players in the team.
