Alright, let’s talk about this Dwight Howard and the Saudi league thing. I saw this headline that really caught my eye: “Dwight Howard to the Saudi League?” I was like, “No way, is this for real?”
So, I started digging around. The first thing I stumbled upon was some crazy rumor about a $900 million offer from a Saudi league team. 900 MILLION! That’s insane money. I doubted it at first, but it got me curious. I kept looking.
Then I found out he actually signed a short-term deal to play for some team called Strong Group. Okay, not Saudi Arabia, but still interesting. I remembered Howard was a big part of the Lakers when they won in the bubble, especially guarding Jokic. He’s been around, that’s for sure.
Continuing my little investigation, I checked out the usual sports news sites. You know, the ones that have all the latest gossip and stats on players. Nothing too concrete on the Saudi thing, mostly just news about him denying some lawsuit and causing a stir by calling Taiwan a “country” in China. Politics, right? Always something.
I also learned he’s apparently a part-owner of an Asian basketball league and a team called the Taiwan Mustangs. He will also play for them. He hasn’t been in the NBA for a couple years now, since the 2021-22 season when he played for the Lakers.
And because I’m a bit of a nerd for this stuff, I looked up his net worth. Somewhere between $140 million and $150 million. Not bad, not bad at all. Mostly from his basketball career and some endorsement deals. Oh, and he was on Dancing with the Stars, apparently.
While searching，I also found that The Magic selected Dario Saric with the 12th overall pick in the NBA draft long time ago.
Wrapping things up, while the $900 million Saudi offer seems like a stretch, it’s clear Dwight Howard is still making moves in the basketball world. This whole part-owner and playing in Asia thing is a new chapter for him. I’ll be keeping an eye on how that unfolds.
