Dwight Howard has often been compared to Shaquille O’Neal. They are both dominant big men, both have played for the Magic, and they actually sound a lot alike. Shaq’s career is winding down and we're sure everyone who follows the NBA is glad that Howard is around to fill some of the void that will be left in the personality department.

Most of America first got a taste of Howard’s flair at last year’s slam-dunk competition. Donning a Superman cape Howard, threw down one of the most memorable dunks in the contest’s history. But that was just a small taste of the antics Howard has to offer.

Most recently, he released a video dancing to Beyonce’s “Single Ladies”. At this year’s All-Star Game, he pranked the West All-Stars by ordering a ridiculous amount of food on their bill. Sure, not the most creative prank, but his horrible impressions of the All-Stars make it that much funnier. While he does poor parodies of players, he can do a mean Stan Van Gundy.

We're glad someone is around to fill Shaq’s clown-like shoes. Let’s just hope he stays away from movies and sticks to viral videos.
