NBA: DWIGHT HOWARD BEAT 50-YEAR-OLD HISTORY!
It was a history far more than what the recent NBA stars now can remember during the time they are too little and dreaming to get into those hoops one day. But as history can repeat itself, sometimes a person can repeat it and do more than what is written in the history. And that was what Dwight Howard just did with their last match against the Golden State Warriors. In which Orlando Magic managed to get a victory of 117-109 over the Warriors. Where in a strategy plot by the Golden State Warriors, Howard was able to out do what a nearly 50-year-old NBA history of Wilt Chamberlain. Where Chamberlain was able to make 34 free throw attempts in for the Philadelphia Warriors against St. Louis, back on Feb. 22, 1962. During Magic’s match with the Golden State Warriors, last Thursday, Howard was able to reach 39 free throw attempts, which actually beat the nearly 50-year-old record Chamberlain written in NBA history.
Since the Warriors know that Howard has been the worst free throw shooter in the current season. They were able to came up with the plot but thanks that Howard was able to make 21 points from his 39 attempts, at least he was able to do about 54% of his free throw chances. And was able to manage to win the game. Have been all is well that end’s well, and a bonus for Howard‘s beating a record of his own idol. (CBS)
