Dwight Howard is completely out of pocket right now and, honestly, it’s got to be one of the funniest things on the internet.
So, for those of you who are unaware, Dwight is still playing basketball — he’s just not doing it in the NBA. The 36-year-old center announced in November that he decided to take his talents to Taiwan and play for the Taoyuan City Leopards.
And, listen. The man is getting busy over there. He’s averaging 23 points, 16 rebounds and 5 assists over there. They’re letting Dwight Howard shoot 3s now, too. I mean, who is going to tell him not to? He’s Dwight Howard playing basketball in Taiwan.
So, anyway, Dwight is apparently trying to build himself a superteam over there in Taiwan.
LeBron James
He is recruiting every failed playoff performer in the NBA this season so far and it’s been pretty incredible. After the Lakers lost Game 2 to the Nuggets on Thursday he even tried to recruit LeBron James.
LeBron James, y’all! This is hilarious.

“Bron. 0-2. I know you the king. You the GOAT. Why not come to Taiwan for one game, my boy? You done did everything in the NBA, my boy. You, AD. You can play til 90 [years old] over here, bruh.”
DOG. “YOU CAN PLAY TIL 90” IS HILARIOUS. The part that got me was when he continued about LeBron missing layups.
“Ain’t nobody gonna trip if you miss a layup, because everybody misses layups. We ain’t gonna trip.” YOOOOOOO.
He specifically called out Chris Paul
He called Chris Paul out, specifically, in the most hilarious way using a fake quote about him coming to Taiwan if he couldn’t win a championship with Kevin Durant.

Chris Paul didn’t really say this but, man, I definitely wish he did. It’d make this that much better.
James Harden, Joel Embiid and more
He’s trying to build an All-Star team, y’all.

Ben Simmons, Deandre Ayton, Jordan Poole, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant. He wants all of them. He’s trying to collect All-Stars like Thanos collected infinity stones.
This is never happening, obviously. But I can’t lie, y’all. I would absolutely love to see it.
