Video: Newest Laker Dwight Howard busts out his Kobe Bryant impression
Dwight Howard is known throughout the NBA as a big kid, and one of his trademarks is his impressions (e.g., Stan Van Gundy, Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal).
Howard unveiled the newest addition to his repertoire on Friday during his introductory press conference as a Los Angeles Laker. Asked whether he had spoken to Lakers star Kobe Bryant, who is in London for the Olympics, Howard channeled the five-time NBA champion:
Needless to say, it was a hit with the assembled media and the masses on Twitter, who otherwise found fault with a lot of what Howard had to say (and what he did not want to address).
Coach in LA is going to have to play doll house. Jerk & Jerket together at last. . .I wonder whose "team is it" anyway
The way the reporters kiss his ass over his impressions reminds me of The Emperor's New Clothes. It's gonna take a kid to stand up and say "dude, your impressions suck".
