Just two days after he filed for divorce from Amber Rose Howard, the 2020 NBA champion announced his retirement Thursday on social media
“Woke up today on the 12th of this month and I figured it’s time to move on from Superman!” Howard wrote on X. “Im no super human… I cry ! I struggle! I feel like everyone else. Through the lies, the media and the hate I still show love and Smile Through The Storm.
“But now Im taking off the cape and retiring from all basketball to pour into my family and give back to communities worldwide. I know some of you might think I thought he already ‘retired’ but I didn’t… the game retired me! I still had more left to give ! Yeah I did play professionally for 20 years and Im grateful to be able to say that but I can’t lie seeing these other players still going at it at age 40 inspired me to want to keep trying but now I believe my duty will be to pass it down to the next generation.
“So Thank you to all my fans and supporters throughout this journey I love and appreciate yall dearly because without yall it would be no me!”
The 40-year-old, who had not played in the NBA since 2022 and last played in the “BIG3,” also announced a documentary about his career will release this year where viewers will learn the “truth” of how he was taken “advantage of by the world.”
“Also thank you to the Naysayers, the haters, the snakes, and people that came into my life to try to destroy me,” he wrote. “Because everytime yall did …it only made me stronger. When my documentary releases this year the world will know the truth about EVERYTHING! Then you will see how the sheltered little boy from college park Georgia who went to the same school from pre-k to 12th grade then straight to the NBA was taken advantage of by the world. But through it all still managed to keep SMILING.”
