Who reported that Dwight Howard roots for the Falcons?
FootBasket reported that Dwight Howard is an Atlanta Falcons fan. Its coverage points to the 2016-17 season, when Howard was heard saying "The Falcons are going to the Super Bowl!" The outlet is the source here, and nothing shows Howard stating the fandom in a separate interview, so it stands as a report.
Does it line up with where he is from?
It does. Howard was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on December 8, 1985, and went to Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy before the Orlando Magic made him the first pick of the 2004 draft. The Falcons are Atlanta's NFL team, which makes this a hometown team he was rooting for in 2017. Nothing indicates whether that continued after that season.
