Dwight Howard has been in the spotlight plenty of times, but on Thursday morning, he will be dealing with an entirely new audience.

Howard recently recorded a segment for the popular children’s show Sesame Street. His two-minute segment will air at 9 a.m. on Thursday on PBS as part of the hour-long show.

In the clip, Howard talks to his friend Elmo about the word “strategy.”

This isn’t Howard’s first brush with children’s entertainment. He also recently made a cameo (with his voice) in the animated film “Free Birds.” He also has a commercial out for the “Free Birds” movie.

I must admit, dude looks comfortable in front of a lens. I was flipping thru channels this morning and caught him on there and had to pause. I think this might be the first airing, but it's on KLRU now (7:20am) if you are interested.

I hope the Rockets come up with a strategy to get the ball from over the fence. I'd hate to stop watching them.

 

The writer above, Jenny Dial Creech, seems pretty good. I'm enjoying her Rockets articles:

One of the highly anticipated matchups in the Timberwolves’ visit to Toyota Center on Saturday was Dwight Howard against Nikola Pekovic.

Pekovic has 20 pounds on Howard and is the biggest center he has faced this season.

“He is a big guy and a great rebounder,” Howard said. “He is definitely a challenge.”

Added Rockets coach Kevin McHale: “He is a load. You have to be willing to stand there and get run over, and not many guys want to do that.”

Minnesota coach Rick Adelman — McHale’s predecessor with the Rockets — said that Howard in the paint provided just as big a challenge for Pekovic, who headed into Saturday averaging 14.2 points and 8.5 rebounds.

Howard finished the game with 11 points and 13 rebounds in the Rockets’ 112-101 win, recording his ninth double-double of the year, while Pekovic had 14 points and seven rebounds.

McHale familiar with Love’s game

While Minnesota forward Kevin Love is having his best season since entering the NBA in 2008, Rockets coach Kevin McHale isn’t surprised.

As the general manager in Minnesota, McHale shipped a package including No. 3 overall pick O.J. Mayo to the Grizzlies in exchange for Love — the No. 5 overall pick — and three other players on draft night in 2008.

“He has had a great run,” McHale said. “You hope that when young guys come in the league, they find their niche and their place in the league and he really has. He has been fantastic.

“I didn’t think he would score as much as he does. I thought he could be a high double-double guy, high teens guy, and he has taken it to a whole other level. He has expanded his game out to the 3-point line.”

Love finished Saturday’s game with 27 points and 15 rebounds.

“His numbers are unbelievable,” Rockets forward Chandler Parsons said. “He is carrying the Timberwolves right now to a really solid record.”

Brooks, Beverley provide 3 spark

The Rockets have been looking for a better 3-point shooting performance.

Headed into Saturday night, the Rockets were shooting 34 percent from the 3-point line. On Saturday, they were 54.8 percent, hitting 17-of-31.

Guard Aaron Brooks led the way, going 6-of-7 while guard Pat Beverley was 5-of-8.

I hate OU, but every graduate Sooner I've ever met was a smart cookie. I'll be following her. Her articles are far more suited to me than a Feigan type.

 

Who gave this one star? Really, there is nothing negative here. I didn't trick you into clicking on it unless you don't know what Sesame Street is. It's for the kids. Who gives the kids one star? Who hates kids that much? I know it wasn't Dwight, he loves the kids.

 

Worst meme ever... every time The Count counts, he laughs hahaha. I call for a redeux!

Dwight did something positive for children.....



I don't get clutch fans sometimes.

 

Cr*p, I feel like an *$$. I just did a search and found like 3 others. I looked four pages deep and didn't find it so I thought that was going to be enough. Lesson learned.
