Hecklers Call Dwight Howard a ‘B-tch’ & His Mother a ‘Whore’

Back in 2014 during their matchup after Dwight Howard left the Los Angeles Lakers for the Houston Rockets, Kobe Bryant called him “soft” and a “bitch” and it basically stuck.  Fans around the league have continually heckled Howard as he fell from dominance.

One fan went too far on Nov. 23rd after Howard’s Atlanta Hawks beat the Pacers 96-85 in Indiana.  The heckler leaned over the tunnel to the locker room and said, “Good game, Dwight.  Have a nice evening.  Your mother’s a whore!”  Howard heard the fan but somehow managed to keep his composure and walked away.

On Sunday night at Staples center, another heckler leaned over to Howard and said, “Kobe all day! Kobe! Kobe! Kobe! Kobe!”  Howard – who was signing autographs for fans – handled that heckling situation with a smile and a wave.

Then a few hours later, ANOTHER heckler was shouting obscenities at Howard after the Lakers beat the Hawks 109-94.  At one point the man says “You’re a bitch!” and I guess Howard had reached the end of his rope and finally said enough is enough.  Dwight was on his way to the locker room but stopped in his tracks and jawed back at the heckler, telling him, “Come back here and say it.”  One of the team officials grabs Howard and tries to push the 6’11” center back toward the tunnel as he continues to challenge the fan.
