The Magic locker room might have a different, more pleasant odor this season now that Dwight Howard is gone, but it won't be without those who miss the way things used to be.
Glen "Big Baby" Davis said that the Magic will miss Howard's "farting ability" more than anything, according to the Orlando Sentinel's Josh Robbins.

Glen Davis re: Dwight Howard: "A great farter. He can fart. He can fart loud — the loudest farts. Silent farts."

As you may or may not recall, Howard's farting exploits have been discussed openly before. A 2009 Sports Illustrated article revealed that the six-time All-Star was actually the reason then Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy implemented a "no-flatulence rule."
"He [Howard] fools around at practice, during press conferences and during shootaround, where Magic coach Stan Van Gundy has had to institute a no-flatulence rule because, as forward Rashard Lewis says, 'Dwight really likes to cut the cheese,'" the article said.
Everyone knew the Magic would miss Howard's production. Most just didn't know it would be his ability to produce gas.
