Dwight Howard he said he had suffered a fraud from his agent a few years ago.
Howard reportedly handed over to his then attorney a 7 million of dollars, believing that they were needed to join a consortium that would take over the WNBA franchise of the Atlanta DreamThe former player himself said it during the latest episode of his podcast. Howard did not name the agent or specify when the deception occurred. The Athletichowever, he rebuilt the story by cross-referencing it with the judicial chronicles. The guilty prosecutor would be Charles Briscoeformer agent of Michael Beasley and Chris Duarte. According to the US site, Briscoe would have been indicted in 2023 for having convinced a player to give him 7 million, making him believe that he would become the owner of a team. The report does not contain proper names but the coincidence with the story told by Howard is evident.
Superman provided further details in an episode where he hosted Joe Smith and the two confronted each other about the many controversial figures who try to steal money from NBA players.
My former agent scammed me, I wanted to kill him when I realized it. It looked like he was going to buy the Atlanta Dream and then I wanted to participate. I thought I could let my daughters play (both born in 2010 but from two different mothers, ed.) when they grew up. At the time I was still playing and the NBA said I couldn’t become an owner, so they made me believe they had gathered a group that would be a facade while I would make all the decisions behind the scenes. After that these alleged partners never made themselves heard from again and then I realized I had thrown away my money.
