Dwight Howard was suspended for last night’s game six of the Magic/Sixers series – giving Celtics and Bulls fans a glimmer of hope that should one of those teams emerge still standing from that series they wouldn’t have to see Superman. That dream is, of course, dead. Orlando romped Philly last night to advance to the second round. Howard, who wasn’t allowed to be in the stadium, was back at the hotel with his family.

And as Sports By Brooks pointed out this morning, providing his own commentary via Twitter.

Me and my sis @ the hotel tweeting on Twitpic

His twittering is a sobering example that just because you’re a supreme athlete not all pros are going to be The_Real_Shaq (and yeah, of course I’m going to start following him). For example,

“aaaaaahh got yall i cant tell yall. its real bad real bad michael jackson lol. see if yall can get thatabout”



Personally, I can’t get that. In fact, he didn’t communicate much that I think most of the outside World found discernible. I did find this one intriguing:

“someone asked have i played shaq 1on1. how we gonna do that.”



Is that how we gonna do that – let’s set it up? Or how we gonna do that – surely you jest.

Hugging Harold Reynolds found Dwight’s fascination with the Ivan “Polish Hammer” Putski to be engaging puzzling as well.
