Dwight Howard knocks down a three-pointer

Found December 01, 2012 on The Victory Formation: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Dwight Howard
TEAMS: Los Angeles Lakers

Via The Victory Formation:

Dwight Howard isn’t known for his skills on offense. It basically consists of being able to get the ball low on the block and dunking or performing the Mikan Drill. Howard is so bad as a shooter that he actually lost a FT and 3pt-shooting contest to the mascot for the Los Angeles Kings. Yes, a hockey mascot. But last night, Howard actually connected on his second three-pointer of his career.

The late triple in the Lakers win over the visiting Nuggets helped the team tie a franchise-record 17 in one game. The Mike D’Anonti offense is really starting to take shape. But don’t expect Dwight to be hanging around the arc the rest of this season.
