"Dwight Howard and Al Horford are the perfect choices for 'NBA Ballers: Chosen One,' which allows players to live the life of an NBA superstar," said George Gomez, executive producer, Midway. "Dwight has already arrived as one of the best players in the NBA and looks to be a perennial All-Star, and Al is enjoying a fantastic rookie season after a stand-out collegiate career at Florida."
Howard, the NBA Eastern Conference Player of the Month for both November and December, has established himself as one of the league's elite big men, averaging more than 20.0 points and 15.0 rebounds per game, and is currently leading all NBA centers in the 2008 NBA All-Star balloting program.
