Matt Howard Biography

Matt Howard is one of the most popular and richest American basketball player who was born on January 23, 1989 in Connersville, Indiana, United States. Matt Howard, born January 23, 1989, is an American professional basketball player. He last played for Hapoel Tel Aviv in the Israeli Premier League. He played college basketball for the Butler Bulldogs. He was a part of the 2009-10 and 2011-11 Butler Bulldogs men’s basketball teams that reached the NCAA Tournament championship.

He was awarded the MVP Award during the Horizon League Men’s Basketball Tournament 2010. He was awarded the MVP Award again during the 2011 Horizon League Men’s Basketball Tournament. This made him the first to be a four-time Horizon League Men’s Basketball Tournament All Tournament selection. He was named the Lou Henson Award for mid-major player and year. Howard was named the Horizon League Newcomer’s of the Year in 2007. He was selected for the second All-Horizon League team that year, and first team selections in each of the three subsequent seasons. As a sophomore and senior, he was selected to the Horizon League All-Defensive Team. He holds the Horizon League record for most free throws attempted and made (both league-only and all games). As a sophomore, he was the Horizon League’s leader in field goal percentage with a 55.0 average.

He is also known for eccentricities both on and off the court. Howard’s teammate Shelvin Mack told Reilly that Howard had six pairs of new shoes in his locker, but refused to wear them, preferring to stay with what Mack described as “ratty old ones”. Howard also habitually rode a rusted-out bicycle to Butler’s 6:00 am practices, regardless of the weather; during one 2011 ice storm, the handlebars bent under him while he was riding, causing him to fall onto the ice. He would say about this incident, “I fixed it. Just poured some WD-40 in there and bent them back. It’s a little risky to ride, I guess, but I can’t see buying a new one.” He also has a habit of spoonerism with people’s names; for example, he routinely calls Mack “Melvin Shack”.

In a story immediately before the 2011 Final Four, Rick Reilly noted that Howard “looks more like a geeky band-camp RA than a possible NBA first rounder”, but added:

He was selected for Academic All-American in 2009, 2010, and 2011. He was also named the 2011 Horizon League Men’s Basketball Player of the year. The Associated Press honored Howard with an All-American honorable distinction in 2009. Howard was able to help Butler make consecutive trips to the final 4 and earned consecutive Elite 88 Awards for 2010-2011. Howard was also one the ten finalists in the 2011 Lowe’s Senior CLASS award for men’s basketball.

Howard was the Horizon League’s newcomer-of-the year as a freshman. He was a key player in the Bulldogs’ first round win in 2008 NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball Tournament against South Alabama. He was a junior and helped the 2009-10 Bulldogs reach the championship round of the 2010 NCAA Division I Basketball Tournament. Howard sustained extensive facial bleeding after being hit with an elbow during the 2010-11 NCAA Division I men’s basketball season. He scored a tipin in the final seconds of time to give Butler a victory over Old Dominion at the NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball Tournament 2011. He then made the winning free throw in round three with 0.8 seconds remaining to win a 71-70 victory against the number-one-seed Pittsburgh Panthers. Howard missed only five three-point shots his first three seasons. However, he improved his outside shot skills as a senior, scoring over 40% on more than 100 attempts.

In 2010, he was chosen as “honorable mention” in a list of the smartest athletes in sports by Sporting News.
