"God saved me for a reason."


Quite a few NBA fans know that Team USA's only true center, Dwight Howard, was raised in a religious household. Fewer are aware exactly why both he - and his parents - feel so blessed.
After watching a NBA TV biography on Howard, I have learned that the man who now stands 6-11 and weighs 265 lbs. started life as a 21-inch, 2-month pre-mature infant.

More stunningly, his mother miscarried 7 times before his birth.
He was their only (man) child.

Yes, with an upward-looking career, D-Howard has a lot to be thankful for. But, for all his famed quickness and agility, he's still got a ways to go before catching a certain Big Cat on the dance floor.
