Dwight Howard has finally found a team: after waiting a long time for a call from the NBA, he will wear the jersey of the Mets de Guaynabo, a Puerto Rican team that plays in the top national league, Baloncesto Superior Nacional.
The Mets, with Dwight Howard on the team, will be looking to do better than last season when, with another former NBA star like DeMarcus Cousins on the roster, they stopped in the semifinals.Superman will have Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, seen shining in the last World Cup edition with Jordan, by his side, and will be coached by a Puerto Rico basketball legend, namely that JJ Barea who for years walked the NBA courts in the jerseys of the Minnesota Timberwolves and especially the Dallas Mavericks.
The former center of the Orlando Magic, Los Angeles Lakers, Houston Rockets, Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Hornets, Washington Wizards and Philadelphia 76ers, arrives in Puerto Rico after experience in Taiwan with the Beer Leopards and in Dubai for a tournament with the Philippine team Strong Athletics.The long, 1985 class has never made a secret of wanting to return to the NBA, but no franchise has evidently wanted to bet on him.
