Inside the brain of Neptune through his fingers.

Wow….yesterday was just awesome.  I got to meet one of my favorite NBA Players…Dwight Howard!  This guy is a monster with the kindest heart.  If you don’t know who he is then check out these vids from the Slam Dunk 2008 Champion:

So…what do you think?  He’s awesome.  Well…let me explain:

I was selected to be the Clippers honorary captain for yesterdays game.  I did the same thing last season and I met with Tim Duncan and Tony Parker….you can see those pics in my album.

Before the game I got there and I was sitting on the Clippers bench.  Watching them working out before the game…and then about 5 minutes before tip off I went to the center circle to meet with the captains of both teams and the referees.  Since I was an honorary captain,  it was Marcus Camby and Me for the Clippers,  and Jameer Nelson and Dwight Howard for the Magic.

It was so awesome to meet Dwight.  I said “Hey Dwight.. Happy Birthday”. He was like “Thanks”.  Then I told him to “Take it easy on my Clippers tonight”.  He laughed and said “We’ll see homie”.  hahahahaha

Then we half hugged with a handshake and some dap and then that was that.  It was still so awesome.  You stand next to a 7 foot tall specimen like that….it’s really awesome.  He is not like most of the NBA Players I’ve met in my life,  and I’ve met a LOT!  He’s actually the coolest and nicest player ever.

I was sitting next to the Magic bench by the tunnel during the game.  I was hoping that I can get his jersey from his back after the game.  He was really cool and gave it to a kid who he was playing around with earlier.

This is the kind of guy Dwight is….this kid yelled at him before the game “Dwight…you’re a monster”.  This kid was wearing a Dwight Howard jersey and idolized him.  He yelled back at the kid “NO KID….YOU’RE A MONSTER”.  This went on a few times…and he ended up giving that kid his jersey.  He’s so awesome.

Yesterday was a great night….even though we lost!  Happy Birthday Dwight…stay awesome always!
