Once upon a time, Dwight Howard was one of the most interactive players on twitter in terms of connecting with his fans – the man follows nearly 8,000 people. With all the drama surrounding him over the last couple of seasons, however, the big man has mostly been quiet on the social media network. That might still be the case (especially during the season), but Howard decided to let us in on the progress of rehabbing his body by posting a
Some of the losing coaches around the league appear to be intent on letting their teams hear about just how bad they really are as of late.

Halfway into the fourth quarter, David Lee – perhaps frustrated from something that may have happened on a previous play – gave Roy Hibbert a blatant shove on a box-out right after a whistle, prompting the center to shove back in retaliation.

When it comes to the Slam Dunk Contest, LeBron James is full of it. “I am more of an in-game dunker”, he says. “I am too old to be in the dunk contest”, he says. “Why don’t you take a poll and see if you think I have more to lose than gain?”, he asks.
