I am very surprised to say this but after reading this little tidbit of information I think I have another NBA player to be a fan of.... The Trail Blazers didn’t just win a series Friday night, they won over a new fan: Houston center Dwight Howard. Crestfallen and stung after the Blazers won a hard-fought series in six games, Howard said he hopes Portland keeps advancing. “I congratulate them,’’ Howard said. “I would love to see Damian (Lillard) and LaMarcus (Aldridge) – now that we are out – win. I’m friends with both of them, so I would be proud if they could take it.’’ Said a surprised Lillard: “I guess we won him over.’’ Howard, who had a dominant series averaging 26 points and 13.7 rebounds, stayed on the court after Lillard’s game-winning shot Friday, wading through celebrating Blazers players to shake Lillard’s hand. “I told him great series. Proud of him,’’ Howard said. “And go win a ‘chip (championship).’’ From: oregonlive/blazers/index.ssf/2014/05/trail_blazers_gain_new_fan_houston_center_dwight_h.html
