Before he became public enemy number one, Houston Rockets center Dwight Howard used to be quite active on his twitter account. He frequently chatted with the fans and ran all kinds of various contests. Sometimes, he went as far as open up about very personal matters through direct messages.
Howard uses the social networking tool far less frequently now, but he will still occasionally respond to a bunch of fans on any given day, as he did on Wednesday afternoon. In particular, he decided to respond to one heckler who didn’t have the fondest of things to say. Here is their brief “conversation” (apologies for technical difficulties):
The heckler’s comeback was pretty good – Howard has had plenty of relations in his personal life – but the center went at her with the type of joke that would make the Comedy Central Roast members proud. Youtube comedian David So also saw the tweets and gave his personal stamp of approval:
I don’t know why people are saying @DwightHoward lost that twitter battle? That ring JOKE ENDED IT! LOL! MAH DUDE GOT JOKES LOL!! #DwightWon
