Watch Dwight Howard Brick A Wide Open Dunk (Video)
Houston Rockets center Dwight Howard missed a wide open slam dunk last night when it bricked and popped 20 feet into the air.
Houston Rockets center Dwight Howard is superman and a very talented NBA center, but on Wednesday he had a super-miss on a wide open slam dunk in the post that was pretty embarrassing.
On a beautiful feed from James Harden into the post, Dwight Howard took one drop step and went for the two handed pull-up slam that was once coined by Shaquille O’Neal, but instead of going in, the ball launched off the back iron and at least 20-30 feet into the air, confusing all of the Houston Rockets and Minnesota Timberwolves players in sight.

The Houston Rockets took the win despite the Howard dunk miss 113-101 over the Timberwolves, improving their overall record to 7-1, tied for the best in the NBA with the Toronto Raptors and Memphis Grizzlies.
Dwight Howard was impressive with 22 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks. He’s averaging a double-double this season so far with 20 points and 11.3 rebounds per game.
