    No player straight from HS has started in all 82 games in their rookie season. He is 78 games down, only 4 more to go to accomplish this feat. He is giving Magic fans so much hope now. He's showing that he's very durable from going to a not so grueling HS schedule to the NBA 82 games.

    It doesn't surprise me that no one cares. I doubt ESPN will even mention this, even though it's a huge accomplishment that Dwight is able to adjust from starting in hs to jumping to the NBA and starting the vigorous 82 game season. I'm just mad that everyone is always praising Okafor and Gordan, but they don't talk about Dwight at all. I am not that biased to say that Okafor and Gordan aren't having better seasons then Dwight, but I'm just mad that they talk about Okafor and Gordan a lot and Dwight is doing just as good as they have the last month and he gets no mention. Dwight got robbed on rookie of the month last month. He was the best rookie last month.

    I hope you don't jinx him, Lebron started all his games too, but he got injured, only 4 more games left though...

    I don't agree with no one paying Howard any mind, they were having picks on NBA TV yesterday, with Rick Kamla and the other fantasy guy, not fantasy picks, reality picks, and they went with Okafor and Howard as their picks.

    Many people know Howard's potential and what he'll be able to do, just in this rookie race, too many are bumping him down to third too quickly, but trust me, people mention him. What most say is he won't win ROY but will be the best out of Okafor, Gordon, and him.
