Over the past 12 NBA seasons, few players have been more dominant inside the paint than the Houston Rockets’ Dwight Howard.

The eight-time All-Star entered the league as the first overall pick in the 2004 NBA Draft fresh out of high school.

“Coming into the league you had a mission,” says CBN Sports‘ Shawn Brown. “What was the mission?”

“My mission was to preach God’s Word, you know, in the NBA,” says Dwight. “Use the NBA as a platform for God. And when I’m on the floor, you know, let people see, you know, the God in me.”
