And for that, I will never forgive the Washington Wizards. As annoyed as they think they were watching an athletic specimen of the highest order celebrate consecutive made free throws like they were back-to-back championships, it can't possibly compare to how annoyed I am that - while getting their doors blown off - they went out of their way to set the scene for self awareness from one of the most unlikable players in league history. Dwight Howard generally looks like a disingenuous jackass in just about everything he does, but in blowing kisses and ballooning his balls after being brought off the bench by the opponent to complete the most minuscule of tasks? He was actually embracing how rare it is for him to do so. It may have been an obnoxiously overzealous act of mockery, but since the target of it was his own damn flaws, I can't help but tip my cap to the seven foot sociopath who appeared to learn how to laugh at himself by way of ironic peacocking. So yeah, I do think that the Washington Wizards owe the entire NBA community an apology. The only thing that the vagabond known as Dwight Howard is less likely to do than come in cold and be money at the charity stripe is for him to happen upon a moment of self realization. Somehow, their futility enabled him to do both in the matter of a minute, and - for the briefest of seconds - made him look like a...(audible gasp)...relatable human being.
