Gotta let out a good old ROFLMAO if Dwight really lost against any mascot, much less a hockey mascot.

Nah watch the first video Dwight Howard himself says that he lost but he tries to play it off like he let him win. The messed up part is that the mascot had the fur on his hands to so he probably couldnt even grip the ball properly yet he still won. :o

Unless we know who is in the mascot who cares.

I think the average college kid in any old pick-up game at the school gym could beat Dwight Howard's 48% FT shooting average this season.

Dwight shoots 80% at the line at practice. What would a college kid shoot if he had to run full court, get pounded by 250 lb men. With 20,000 fans watching with your teammates who you want to make them for.

I say that because I was coaching a camp last year. One kid made a comment similar that he could outshoot one of the pros at the camp. This kid was a pretty good shooter but had never played organized basketball. We told him if he went to the line and made 2 free throws him and his group would get signed basketballs. If he missed the other group would get signed basketball. He goes to the line. The other group is trying to distract him. He takes the shot and barely hits the rim. The lesson to be learned don't think what you at home is comparable to what they do.

A non-professional basketball player with thick gloves is in the mascot.

that clip looked like practice to me...ton of guys have come out of high school to the nba and shot better than 48% or whatever howard shoots .

the kid in camp had never played organized basketball thats why he sucked.

the pro at the camp could probably do better than Howard.

the lesson learned is 48% percent sucks . he lost to a mascot in PRACTICE not a game . the kid in camp missed 1 shot did he make the other one if he did thats better than howards season %.

That's all well and good, but Dwight lost to the mascot in practice - you know, that place where he supposedly shoots 80% FT.

It's not like we're comparing Dwight in the NBA Finals vs a mascot in his driveway. That was Dwight in practice vs a mascot in practice - same ball, same gym, same rim. And Dwight lost.
