President Donald Trump made podcast appearances during the election cycle. He chatted on shows like “Impaulsive” with Logan Paul and “Bussin' With The Boys” with Taylor Lewan.
If his schedule allows, another invite is on the table—from NBA star Dwight Howard.
Howard, an eight-time All-Star, wants Trump on his show “Above the Rim.” He even called him his “dream podcast guest.”
"Talk to him about upbringing, how did he get to where he is today, being the president and how difficult it is," Howard told Front Office Sports. "I don’t think people understand it, the tough assignment of being a president…"
"I’m [not] taking up for any president or anything like that in history,” he added, “but I’m just of the understanding that it is a very hard job.”
“It’s like being a king in your own land,” he said. “And you have so many people that you have to try to take care of… a lot of times your feelings and emotions have to be out of decisions.”
"I just like to have conversations with people just to see where their spirit and their energy lies," Howard continued.
"And a lot of times, when we see people online… maybe [it’s] a little bit different than how they carry themselves… when they’re not on camera and stuff like that."
Former NBA players Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson also interviewed Kamala Harris before the 2024 election.
Howard and other NBA figures recently signed podcast deals with Blue Wire.
