I know fans think Dwight Howard is soft, and keyboard thugs get a little braver when there’s barriers and security between them and these 6 foot+ players, but this is really out of line.
On Nov. 23rd after Howard’s Atlanta Hawks beat the Pacers 96-85 in Indiana, a heckler leaned over the tunnel to the locker room and said, “Good game, Dwight. Have a nice evening. Your mother’s a whore!”
Dwight heard the guy, but turned and walked away. That took next level strength to walk away because I’m sure another “Malice in the Palace” would occur had the heckler said that to someone else.
Sunday night at Staples, another heckler leaned over to Howard and said, “Kobe all day! Kobe! Kobe! Kobe! Kobe!” Howard – who was signing autographs for fans – handled that heckling situation with a smile and a wave.
When ANOTHER heckler called Howard a “bitch” a few hours later, I guess he was at the end of his rope and decided enough was enough. Personally, calling my mother a whore would get a rise out of me quicker than calling me a bitch, but to each his own.
Why they playing Dwight Howard like this??? “Should have stayed wit the lakers… KOBE ALL DAY.. KOBE KOBE KOBE” pic.twitter.com/vgRg2FGBC3
