DWIGHT Howard has another piece of hardware for his personal trophy case.
The Orlando Magic center became the first player to win the NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award three straight seasons.
Howard received 585 points from a panel of 120 sports writers and broadcasters. Boston's Kevin Garnett finished second with 77 points.
Only Dikembe Mutombo and Ben Wallace, with four each, have now won the award more times.
"I try to do the best I can on the defensive end. To dominate, change the game," Howard said. "That's not blocking shots but just being a presence on the defensive end. Making sure I'm here for my teammates. It definitely is an honor to be considered one of the best defensive players to play the game. I'm still young so hopefully I can keep it up."
