Dwight Howard: Twitter Erupts as Superman Finally Makes a Decision

Orlando Magic superstar center Dwight Howard will reportedly waive his right to become a free agent this summer and will opt in for the 2012-13 season, which means he will remain with the franchise for at least another year.

After changing his mind countless times, it appears Howard has made a final decision. Howard told RealGM the following early Thursday morning:

"

"I have gotten some bad advice," Howard said. "I apologize for this circus I have caused to the fans of our city. They didn't deserve none of this. I'm sorry from the bottom of my heart. I will do whatever I can to make this right and do what I was put in Orlando to do." 

The situation has also been stressful for Howard and his family, but he isn't thinking of making any excuses or point any fingers. Howard only wants to get back to being the man Orlando grew to love and cheer for. 

"This has been a very hard time," Howard said. "For me, my family and all of us. The fans deserve a better hero and I will make that happen. I love and appreciate my fans and this city." 

"

Twitter reacted to Howard's decision on Thursday, so let's look at some of the best tweets surrounding the Magic star.
