Dwight Howard Dunking Over Child: Rockets Star Blocks Ten Year Old's Shot [WATCH HERE]
28-year-old NBA Center Dwight Howard sure knows how to dunk over other professional basketball players, but what would it look like if he dunked over a kid?
A viral video shows the Houston Rockets star not only dunking over 10 year old Sandro Dussek but then Howard blocked the little boy's shot attempt -- and laughed about it. The two were going head to head after Howard pulled him out of the stands during a delay at the Verizon Center when the Rockets were taking on the Washington Wizards. It was seemingly playful but we'd at least expect Howard to do things a little differently by giving the child some sort of opportunity to score.
Howard and the Rockets are currently 24-14 and the team is in second place in the Southwest Division. Houston went on to hold off the Wizards over the weekend in a 114-107 victory on the road. Howard has 680 points and nearly 500 total rebouns this season in 38 games played for the Rockets after spending one controversial season in Los Angeles with Kobe Bryant and the Lakers. Howard took a pay cut to join the Rockets because he saw Houston as the best fit at the time.

Howard has been known among his teammates and around the league to have a selfish attitude and this video doesn't do much to help his case. Usually we see players allowing the children to score, but clearly not Howard.
What do you think about this video? Do you think Howard should have been more lenient or was it all in good fun? Let us know in the comments section.
