Magic center Dwight Howard wants to play for Team USA in the 2012 Olympics.

"I would love to play," Howard told Sports Illustrated. "I have no problem with it. I want to be on the 2012 Olympic team. If that means [USA Basketball Managing Director] Mr. [Jerry] Colangelo wants me to play at the world championships next summer, I'm there."

LeBron James and Dwyane Wade recently expressed hesitation about committing to the national team.
