NBA star Dwight Howard talks about being asked to sign a humiliating photo.
In an interview with Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard, they talked a lot about the All-Star game on February 17th, and his participation in the Slam Dunk Contest.
Well, for those of you that have never played basketball, being dunked on is one of the more humiliating things that can happen to you. The interviewer (the great Dan Patrick, who has a great radio show I highly recommend), asks him who has dunked on him. He gives a list, that includes Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul, Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom, and Shareef Abdur-Rahim.
He says the Kobe one was bad because it was played on TV and even shown in freeze-frame. And...the one thing I've told autograph collectors before...be thoughtful of what it is you are asking the person to sign. Sure, there are nude photos that Cindy Crawford has signed. But that doesn't mean she always will.
Well, in this interview Howard says "...and then I went to the amll, and they had the picture on T-shirts! And people were asking me for the autograph of me getting dunked on."
