Once, he was battling with Kobe and LeBron for the title of best in the world. Next, he was irrelevant. What happened to Dwight Howard?

I feel like you should also include his sexual assault case against a man as well. Howard and his attorney claimed it was consensual. To the NBA, this just confirmed Howard is gay - and is also being used to blackball him. If he was still an All-Star, he would still get signed. But as a bench player, he's unlikely to retrieve a contract, even one for the veteran minimum.
