During the Golden State Warriors’ victory over the Los Angeles Lakers last night, Dwight Howard and David Lee got into a bit of a tiff. There was an elbow and a Dwight Howard bloody lip and three (!) stitches, and then post-game huffing and vows of mild mannered revenge. Friendship is only a matter of time. But what if, someday, they actually fought?

Didn’t watch sports on tv last night? Do you have something against the World Baseball Classic? You do? Okay, fine, we get it. But it’s not that bad, promise.

Dwight Howard must have discovered a select few Magic fans whose hearts he hadn’t yet broken. People who clung to the notion that Superman’s best days were in the past, with them. Well, they had one thing right: he kicks ass at basketball when he plays in Orlando.

Nothing like a random visit from Metta World Peace during a post-shootaround media scrum to pimp his Twitter handle.

Dwight Howard is a prolifically bad free-throw shooter, but that’s only among the free throws you see him take. Secretly, he’s a great free-throw shooter, and he’s just playing us all for fools.

Boy, that Dwight Howard is something on defense, isn’t he? NBA’s leading defensive rebounder five times, blocked shot leader twice, Defensive Player of the Year thrice – what can’t he do? And he showcased those skills against the Nuggets last night, let me tell you. (He did, right?)

Why? Why do you, fan, sit there, yelling “Kevin!!!”? To what end? We may never find an answer to that elusive question, but we can nonetheless appreciate Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy’s willful ignorance. KEVIN!-KEVIN!-KEVIN-great-sceen-by-Dwight-Howard-there-KEVVVIIINNNNN!!!

The legend of Dwight Howard as insufferable child seems to pick up steam with every passing day. Take, for instance, this second-hand account from one Stephen A. Smith, who was on Mike and Mike Wednesday morning and told this story he heard through the grapevine about Howard incurring the wrath of Gregg Popovich during the All-Star Game.

You’d be lying if you said you didn’t see this coming.

The Lakers lost to the Clippers last night, because they are clearly the worst team in Los Angeles. Being that the Lakers are normally a good team, winning enthusiast Kobe Bryant is upset. And Dwight Howard smiled in the postgame handshake. Should we freak out on him, as usual?
