Dwight Howard is awesome

In case you missed this last night, Orlando Magic manchild Dwight Howard beat the Spurs with an unbelievable dunk (over Tim Duncan). It's the first game-winning NBA dunk since Jerry "8 Day Rental" Stackhouse beat Dallas in 2002 (I actually remember that play). One last note on the double-double machine that is Dwight Howard:
In his last three games, Howard is making 89% of his FG attempts (33 of 37). According to Elias, that's the highest % for any NBA baller (not named Wilt) over a 3 game period, ever.

Look at the ball in that video...it is ABOVE the square. Ridiculous.

yeah, that's a sick play. the look of disgust/amazement on duncan's face is priceless.

bit of a correction - howard's 3-game total is the best by any player not named wilt chamberlain. wilt beat that mark *6 times* in his career. that's insane.

You are correct, sir. Wilt's in a whole other wing of the Beast Hall of Fame.

That was fucking awesome. HUGE win for a banged up Magic team. I was screaming in my house all by myself.

Watching Howard play on a nightly basis is easily one of the better things going in my fan life. He's a once in a generation athlete and I'll take him over Greg Oden every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

How about a little love for Josh Heytvelt getting popped for ganja AND mushrooms? Shattering the Gonzaga stereotype while simultaneously reinforcing those of the Pacific Northwest. Well played young man.

I'm with you on SIU too, btw. I'm already penciling them in for a sweet 16 berth (pending an awful matchup, of course).

You know what, it sure looks like someone ALREADY punched Sean Sutton in the face...

ESPN made to sure to highlight "psychadelic" mushrooms, in case you were worried they pocketed some portabellas from produce.

Teej, nice call on the Terps' win. I flipped it on just in time to see the 29-4 run. I should have TiVoed it for a rainy day.
