When asked specifically about the lockout and his free agency status, (Dwight) Howard said talking about those issues took away from the purpose of the night.

“We want to keep this about the game and about this event,” Howard said. “Right now that’s the only thing that I’m focused on is this event and giving back to our city…It’s not about free agency or whatever. There is no basketball right now. This is basketball—something like this. So let’s not dwell on all the other stuff.”
