“Makes You Want To Choke Him”: Dwight Howard Mocks Joel Embiid and Shannon Sharpe in His IG Live

Life inside the NBA bubble seems to be exciting for the players. While there might be several restrictions in place, the league has organized the restart in a grand manner. Players have been enjoying themselves in the first week or so that they’ve been there. Lakers star Dwight Howard started an IG live from his hotel in which he expressed a lot of his thoughts. 

Howard is certainly an entertaining personality and an absolute monster when he comes off the bench to take control on the court. The 34-year-old explained a lot to his fans on his Instagram session, and notably poked fun at Joel Embiid. 

Howard revealed how he is not a fan of Embiid’s on-court antics. As per Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson of Heavy, Howard said: “Joel Embiid makes you want to choke him because he flops so much.” 

Moreover, Howard also expressed how someone reported on him to the NBA hotline for which he received a caution. “Someone told on me,” Howard said, as he revealed that he was warned for not wearing a mask. 

The Lakers’ center also made a couple of comparisons on his live session as he revealed his thoughts on teammate Rajon Rondo. Apparently Howard thinks Rondo is a “mad scientist.” Besides sharing his love for the injured Lakers star, Howard also had words of praise for Luka Doncic. 

Howard compared the Mavs big man to his current assistant coach Jason Kidd. “He know all the vet tricks and he’s only 20,” Howard said of Doncic.

In a very entertaining session, Dwight Howard further enticed his fans by making a mimicry of a media personality. Howard tried to impersonate former NFL player and current TV presenter Shannon Sharpe. Sharpe co-hosts Skip and Shannon: Undisputed with Skip Bayless, on Fox Sports. 

As LeBron James and Anthony Davis joined to peek into Howard’s live session, the 8x All-Star caught the voice of Shannon Sharpe and gave a quick shoutout to AD and LeBron and then imitated him further. 

Moreover, Dwight Howard then had a few nice words to say about the ‘Splash Brothers,’ who will not be taking part in the NBA restart. Howard showered Steph Curry with praise and said that he really changed the league. He also revealed that he felt Klay Thompson’s full force when he played against the Warriors in a game where Curry was injured.
