T-Mobile Player of the Week: Dwight Howard

As if there was any doubt.

The Orlando Magic went 2-1 in the week following NBA All-Star Weekend in Dallas, highlighted by an important win against the Cleveland Cavaliers - the team that acquired Antawn Jamison at the trade deadline. To steal a quote from head coach Stan Van Gundy, Dwight Howard "has carried our team."

Dwight Howard	Pts	Rebs	Ast	Stl	Blk
Dwight Howard	28.0	16.3	2.0	0.3	5.3
	FG%		3FG%		FT%
	58.0		N/A		72.2
	eFG%				TS%
	58.0				63.8

LeBron James may be named the league's MVP, for the second consecutive year this season and deservedly so, but Howard has inserted his name into the discussion. For the past month or so, Howard has been that good. And for the third time this year, Howard has been named NBA Eastern Conference Player of the Week.

I feel lucky to get to watch somebody of Dwight's caliber play.

Just about every time I watch the Magic, I can expect to be amazed.

Perhaps the coolest stat for a Big Man

Dwight averaged 2 Ast/1 TO. He truly did have a phenomenal week.
