Video: Dwight Howard Dunks on a Giraffe

A giraffe basketball hoop, that is.

Hard to explain exactly what’s going on here, but from the looks of it, during his ongoing trip in Tokyo, Dwight Howard was challenged to dunk in this giant giraffe basketball hoop thing, and after some teasing, that’s exactly what he did. For what it’s worth, that hoop does look a couple feet higher than the (presumably) 10-foot basket that’s behind it.

    It’s really starting to be time the lock out ends… For Dwight and giraffes around this world.

    Kind of wondering why there’s a random giraffe statue thing in the middle of what looks like a mall/train station.

    I don’t know about “a couple of feet higher” but that’s still way up there.
