Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard may be a superstar, but he’s almost always in tune with fans and autograph seekers.
Collectors crave his cards and autographs.
Fans just want a handshake or a word with the man who helped the Orlando Magic reach the NBA Finals last year.
Whenever possible, Dwight Howard tries to accommodate. The affable big man with the "Superman" alter ego is constantly in demand, especially after helping the U.S. win an Olympic gold medal last summer.
With the NBA season in full swing, Howard is again the center of attention at home–and on the road where visiting fans and collectors come ready with pens and pictures.
The Orlando Sentinel profiles the NBA’s Mr. Sunshine.
