Why Dwight Howard Is Awesome…

Our favorite young post player doesn’t like roller coasters, OK?

by Lang Whitaker

Saw this over at True Hoop. Really, there’s nothing else for me to say. Just watch the video…

I liked that I could turn up the volume and feel perfectly content that Dwight wouldn’t unleash a stream of curse words. (For what it’s worth, I think that’s Dwight’s little brother, Jahaziel, sitting next to him.)

    This is the type of wholesome star that the NBA needs… I sure wouldn’t be bagging him out to his face about this video ;)

    They’re riding Expedition Everest at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Pretty tame stuff compared to the Six Flags outside of Dwight’s hometown. Now someone needs to “youtube” Shaq and Bill Bellamy riding Kongfrontation at Universal Orlando from his Magic days.
