Bill Russell & Dwight HowardIn many ways, Dwight Howard is a direct descendant of the legendary Bill Russell: Unselfish on offense, big rebound numbers and copious blocked shots despite being short of 7-0. On the other hand, some SLAM readers claim Dwight disrespected shot-blocking in SLAM 134 when his “How-To” advice included “block it into the crowd.” There’s also the little matter of rings (or lack thereof). None of this answers what the two were laughing about over All-Star Weekend. Got any ideas?
