Dwight Howard Eliminated From 'Dancing With the Stars'

Former NBA Star Traded From Lakers, Nets, and 76ers Was Voted Off Popular Dancing Competition

Howard Was Eliminated After Performing Cha-Cha and Tango Dances

Former NBA star Dwight Howard was voted off of 'Dancing with the Stars' this week after performing a cha-cha to Chris Brown's "With You" and a tango to Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud." Howard and his professional dance partner, Cheryl Burke, were in the bottom two couples for the second time this season.

The judges' scores were not enough to save Howard from elimination. Carrie Ann Inaba (7), Len Goodman (7), Derek Hough (7), and Bruno Tonioli (7) all gave Howard and Burke scores in the middle of the pack.

Howard's elimination was a surprise to many fans, and sports commentators alike. He had been a fan favorite throughout the competition, and many people thought he was a frontrunner to win the title.

Howard was not the last NBA star to be eliminated from the competition. Several others, including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Lamar Odom, and Derek Fisher, lasted a few weeks on the show before having to leave.

Howard's elimination is a reminder that even the most talented athletes can struggle when they step outside of their comfort zone. Dancing is a very different skill than playing basketball, and it takes a lot of practice to master.

Despite his elimination, Howard had a great time on 'Dancing with the Stars.' He learned a lot about himself and had the opportunity to perform in front of a live audience. He also made some new friends, including his partner, Cheryl Burke.

Howard's elimination from 'Dancing with the Stars' is a disappointment, but it's not the end of his story. He's still a talented basketball player, and he has a lot to offer the NBA.
