Dwight Howard's reaction to getting elected to Hall of Fame

Before the ceremonies of the 2025 Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, which took place in early September, Dwight Howard expressed his thoughts on being elected. There were a lot of uncertainties in Howard's career, especially after making an abrupt exit from the NBA in 2022.

When Howard learned that he was elected to the class of 2025 back in April, the big man couldn't hold back his emotions. Superman was grateful for being blessed with a spot in the Hall of Fame. He also shed some tears in the process.

"I knew I was going to do it," Howard said after learning he was getting inducted. "I'm just so grateful man and just thankful for God and this opportunity. It's such a big honor. I'm just so happy man. This is crazy. I made it to heaven."

Fast forward to the present day, Dwight Howard joined Carmelo Anthony as the two NBA stars to be inducted into this year's Hall of Fame.
