Dwight Howard, now retired from the NBA, is tied to the Falcons through a FootBasket report. The outlet attributed to him the line "The Falcons are going to the Super Bowl!" It is a reported fandom, not one he is shown confirming in his own words.
Does that line up with where Howard is from?
It does, on geography. Howard was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on December 8, 1985, and attended Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy, so the team he is reported to root for is the one from his hometown. His career took him through the Orlando Magic, Los Angeles Lakers, Houston Rockets, Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Hornets, Washington Wizards and Philadelphia 76ers, among other stops, and he played for the Atlanta Hawks as well.
