Celtics lead Miami by 15 at halftime. Bored? Head over to Amazon and sample clips from the Dwight Howard charity album. Because hearing 9-seconds of Dwight’s stylings on Whoop There It Is (Hoop there It Is!) and Can’t Touch This (Howard Time) is at least as exciting as Lebron to Eddie House for brick.

This 11-track album of mostly cover songs* also features Day-o, ABC, Shout, Jammin’ and others. A portion of the proceed go to the BETA Center (www.betacenter.org), the Orlando, FL based organization whose mission is to provide children and parents with the knowledge and support needed for strong and healthy families.

*Track 11 is titled Shoot For the Stars and I can’t confirm, but I think it’s a Superman original track. Or it’s a Natasha Bedingfield cover (according to songs titled Shoot For The Stars on YouTube).

That Dwight Howard is one hell of a drug.


@dwighthoward posted it on his blog too asking if you could name the impersonations. Other than when he imitates the Lebron explosion of talcum, I for one can not name any of the other impersonations. (More dunks than a donut shop – Stan Van Gundy?)

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.

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.

Check out the rest of Dwight’s twitter feed and become a fan of him on Facebook.
