For the first time Magic star Dwight Howard has commented on his future in Orlando.

“You know what? I’ll be here as long as the fans want me to be here,” Howard told the Orlando Sentinel.

Howard also said if he has his way, he’ll be a member of the Orlando Magic for the rest of his career.

“I tell my friends this: I want to stay here. It will be based upon the city. We want the support of our fans. That’s what carries us, that’s what inspires us, that’s what keeps us motivated,” Howard said. “You want to feel loved. That’s the biggest thing. I show my love to the community. I show my love to this city by stepping on the floor every night and playing as hard as I can. That’s all we want back.”

Magic fans you better start kissing his ass every waking hour of the day. Without Howard your team becomes irrelevant.
