Eight-time All-Star Dwight Howard famously worked out with Houston Rockets legend Hakeem Olajuwon in the early 2010s, looking to expand his offensive repertoire. However, according to comedian Ali Siddiq, Howard was the lone player who didn't complete Olajuwon's training program.
From late in his Orlando Magic tenure (2010) to the start of his Rockets stint (2013), Howard participated in several offseason workouts with Olajuwon. In 2011, Howard said he aimed to become a "more complete" player during the sessions by "shooting more" and getting his "free-throw (percentage) above 75.0(%)."
