Dwight Howard is taking his talents to... Taiwan.

The former NBA MVP and eight-time All-Star announced on Instagram Thursday that he has become a part-owner an Asian basketball league and one of its teams, the Taiwan Mustangs, who he will also play for going forward.

"Last year after the first game I played in Taiwan I looked over at Mu Real and said, 'Man, I'm going to start my OWN league one day where former NBA players, top college recruits and elite international players can still get a stage to showcase to the world how great they are,' Howard wrote. "He looked at me crazy but one day is NOW! And we are coming back‼️"
