Former NBA center Dwight Howard and American gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik were among the 13 participants who won the 33rd season of Dancing with the stars on Tuesday evening.

Former NFL wide receiver Danny Amendola and American rugby player Ilona Maher completed the quartet of athletes participating this year.

Howard and Nedoroscik in particular stood out and received rave reviews for their work.

Howard and his professional partner Daniella Karagach stole the show after dancing salsa to “This Is How We Do It” by Montell Jordan, receiving 22 (8, 7, 7) out of 30 from the three judges, placing second on the night.

I've never been the biggest Dwight Howard fan, but there's no denying how impressive he was tonight on Dancing With The Stars.

Dwight Howard saw what Iman Shumpert was doing on Dancing with the Stars and said, “Now it’s my turn.” #DWTS

oh my, I am deeply enchanted by Dwight Howard. I know nothing about him, but watching him dance was so much fun #dwts

My Bally Sports wasn't working tonight so I happened to be watching Dancing with the Stars (which is very uncharacteristic of me). Can we all agree that Dwight Howard was actually AWESOME and Anna Delvey should definitely be the first to go home?
I am now invested.

Dwight Howard could actually win this season. If he can put up a performance like that in Week 1, it's crazy.

the favorite dance of the evening HAD to be Dwight Howard, to be honest, he was sooo much better than I thought

Nedoroscik and his professional partner Rylee Arnold also performed well, scoring just seven points in all 21 after dancing the jive to Queen's “Don't Stop Me Now,” enough for a tie for third place.

Stephen Nedoroscik may be one of the best dancers this show has ever seen… oh my god… they should just give him the trophy now 🏆 @GymnastSteve #DWTS

Jackie Green @jackie_green

My wifi died before Stephen's dance and I had to stream it using data on my phone… so I guess it's like any other gymnastics competition, my wifi always dies when the excitement is at its highest! Yelling at my phone because I'm excited to see Stephen Nedoroscik crush the competition is nothing new! #DWTS

No contestant was eliminated after week 1. Next week, everyone will be back for Oscar night on Tuesday evening at 9 p.m.
