An Exclusive Look at the Life of NBA
All-Star Dwight Howard
The Original Documentary Makes its World
Television Premiere on November 12 at 8PM ET/PT
Premium entertainment network EPIX will provide basketball fans
courtside seats to Dwight Howard In the Moment, an
EPIX Original Documentary that follows Dwight’s path from a
small-town kid becoming a seven-time NBA All-Star and three-time
NBA Defensive Player of the Year, to his fall from grace and road
to redemption. Dwight Howard In the Moment makes its World
Television Premiere on Wednesday, November 12, 2014 at 8pm
ET/PT.
The number one pick in the 2004 NBA draft, straight out of a
tiny high school in Atlanta, Georgia, Dwight joined the Orlando
Magic and began a meteoric rise, quickly becoming one of the top 10
most recognizable athletes in the world and earning a reputation as
charismatic, intensely competitive, and unwaveringly loyal.
For the first time, viewers will see how Dwight, known for his
smile, dunks, Superman cape, and charity work, found himself in
uncharted waters. From his glory days with Orlando and his
season-ending back surgery, to his tumultuous year with the L.A.
Lakers, to his fresh start in Houston, Dwight was tested
physically, mentally, and emotionally. Dwight Howard In the
Moment takes us through these key moments, showing us how he
emerged from his ordeals a more mature, confident player and
person.
Today, Dwight is back, most notably with his dominant
performance in last year’s tough playoff series, and his continued
pursuit of a championship with the Rockets.
“Dwight Howard is one of the biggest names and greatest talents
in basketball,” said Mark Greenberg, EPIX CEO and President. “We
are delighted to offer his fans a glimpse into his life beyond what
is shown on the court.”
Dwight Howard is the latest sports figure profiled in the “In
the Moment” series. Past athletes include David Ortiz, Amar’e
Stoudemire and Lindsey Vonn. Join the conversation about
