Dwight Howard is one of the most entertaining players in NBA history. In recent years, he has been revealing small snippets from his life along with crazy stories that have happened to him over the years through social media. But now, the three-time defensive player of the year is coming out with his own platform to provide his fans with all the content necessary.

As part of an assortment of NBA athletes branching out into newer forms of entertainment, Dwight Howard is the newest one to join and has just announced the release of his own podcast.

Get ready for Dwight Howard’s new podcast

Howard took to Twitter to reveal to his fans that he will be starting his new podcast, appropriately named “Above The Rim.” He also tagged the link to its YouTube channel in the comment section for people to find it, and the channel has already amassed over twelve thousand subscribers.

On the Twitter post, Howard wrote, “My podcast is going to be crazy the stories I got 🤣“. Based on what he has said, Howard is sure to reveal some never before heard tales and fans are eagerly waiting for it.

Howard took the right opportunity to announce it and did it right before he turned 38. Although this could be seen as a sign of him stepping away from basketball, Howard also announced to the world on Twitter that he won’t be retiring before he takes part in an in-season tournament game right after.

Right before making this post, Dwight Howard changed the profile picture and banner for his Twitter page, which apparently made Twitter remove his verification badge.

As Howard is gearing up for the release of the first episode of his new podcast, only time will tell what inside stories we will receive from the 8-time All-Star. ‘Superman’ is not the first and surely won’t be the last NBA star to give podcasting a go as this path has been paved by many before him.
