As Howard once told Sports Illustrated's Chris Ballard, he doesn't just plan on blocking opposing players' shots; he often wants to swat the shots into the seventh row (although he knows he shouldn’t!).
Since the NBA started recording blocks as a category in the 1973-74 season, no player had ever led the league in rebounds and blocks two years running…until Howard came along. If he continues that streak another year, he'll be the runaway favorite for the D-POY award for the third straight year.
