Dwight Howard Still Trains Hard at 40. Why He Says the Work Can’t Stop
Dwight Howard built his NBA career on relentless training, from 4 a.m. workouts before school to training three times a day as a pro. Now 40, he reflects on the work that shaped him, the injuries he wishes he’d handled differently, and the routine he still follows.
He also shares what it was like playing with Kobe Bryant—and the unexpected memory that comes to mind whenever he thinks of him.
