Dwight Howard Is Sho’Nuff

Dwight Howard is quickly becoming one of my favorite players in the NBA. After last week’s shootaround rendition of Tyrone Biggums, Dwight’s encore performance was Sho’Nuff from the 1985 kung-fu spoof The Last Dragon.

While the Magic have a strict, business trip dress code to adhere to on the road, there was nothing GM Otis Smith could do but shake his head and laugh when the 6-11, 270-pound center stepped onto the team’s flight wearing “a red kimono and a black wig, and rambling in some weird voice.”

“Yeah, for Dwight to even know about The Last Dragon . . . You got to give him that for creativity,” Smith said, still laughing. “Morlon [Wiley, the team’s director of player development] looked at Dwight and says to me, ‘What’s the fine for that?’”

Although Howard says he’s finished portraying Biggums because he’s “Not good for children,” I’m sure he has a lot more tricks up his sleeve.

Who should Dwight dress up as next?

    Samuel L. Jackson has signed on to play the role of Shonuff in the remake of The Last Dragon. Maybe they should have got Dwight instead?

    Shakazulu Sam most def. will do that part justice. I heard ol boy that played Sho Nuff in the original has passed sadly. This year I think it was too.

    I most def. could see him doing Mr. T.
    Or the Soul Glow dude
    Or Rog in some thick glasses from what’s happenin

    Yeah, Julius Carry III was the guy who played Shonuff, he died around two months ago of some kind of cancer I think.

    Morlon Wiley played for the Heat at one point.

    Hold up, there’s gonna be a remake of the LAST DRAGON. The Centaur is by far going to live up to the second coming of Shaq and might be better when it’s all said and done.

    so is Dwight Howard turning into the Clinton Portis of the NBA? always wearing costumes and things such as such…if so he’s gotta be the most humurous dude in the L hands down. give him props tho for keeping things loose with the team, i’m sure they get a kick out of it

    They are remaking The Last Dragon. Tamiak who played Bruce Leroy is all pissed off because they don’t want him in the movie. The Rza is co-producing
