Bible Boy
Looks like prep star Dwight Howard will use his celebrity to spread the word of God. As a devout Christian myself, I have reserved optimism about this. He could follow David Robinson's good example of leadership, class and even philanthropy. Or he could follow in the footsteps of other apparently well-meaning but tact-challenged athletes that over-use the Lord’s name (isn’t that kind of a sin?) and promote a stereotype that makes most devout Christians cringe. Time will tell, and I haven’t really found out enough about this kid to make any kind of analysis of his personality, but I will be interested with what he does and says.
