Houston Rockets center Dwight Howard wants everyone to calm down about Steph Curry’s rebound.

The Houston Rockets are getting dismantled by the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals. There might not be a play that sums it up better, than the relatively small Steph Curry boxing out Rockets’ big man Dwight Howard for a rebound in the paint.

I mean, Curry isn’t that much taller than six foot and Dwight Howard is almost seven-feet tall. Howard should never get boxed out by a small guard like Curry, but it happened on one of the biggest stages in the sport.

Just don’t ask Howard about it, because he will lose his temper with you.

Dwight Howard came up to me minutes after rolling eyes @ my Curry question: "He got 1 rebound. 1 rebound, brotha. U can even get 1 rebound."

Dwight: "I didnt even see Curry. My man was out on the perimeter so I just thought nobody was there. When I turned around Curry's up in me."

Dwight Howard: "He got a rebound." Shakes head, eye roll. "It's basketball, brotha."

To be fair to Howard, in the video he genuinely doesn’t seem to notice Curry. He never sees him come in and seems to be intensely focused upwards at the ball and the rim.

So Curry is so short he could sneak right in front of Howard when he was looking up basically. That doesn’t explain that he was strong enough to box Howard out though, or out jump him.
