    Dwight could hide around a corner and hit them with a chair.. then Kenyon Martin could jump off the railing with a flying elbow..

    Or maybe Dwight could don a mask.. like Mr. Wrestling.. and then he could run behind a curtain, and then come running out the other side, but then it's clearly not Dwight any more.. dressed the same, same number, same mask, but now instead of Dwight it's Calvin Murphy under the mask.. they finally foul him, and he proceeds to make 80 straight free throws..

    this might have been said already, but I was brainstorming with a friend the other day-

    Run out of bounds. like up the steps of toyota center into the fan section, or into the tunnel. At home, fans could get involved by forming a human wall against the opposition so that they couldn't reach him. Are there rules against that? Aside from being hilarious, it would be effective. The other team has one guy (or more) hunting Dwight down to make sure he's fouled, so we'd already have a 4-on-4 (or even 4-on-3) on offense with an open lane.

    It would also be embarrassing, but I would argue that it's no more embarrassing than hitting less than 50% of your free throws in the clutch.

    We could redesign Dwight's shoes to include rocket boosters and deployable wheels. Then, when they start this, he deploys the wheels and ignites the boosters. They won't be able to catch him. The wheels will be able to rotate 360 degrees. We could write a program and embed a chip/servo to control the wheels and amount of boost. There would also be sensors to avoid people using technology from the Roomba (to avoid objects in its path) we would have to adapt for this. Dwight would talk into a Bluetooth microphone that sends a command to the chip, like "Escape Alpha" or "Escape Beta". Then, he has to hang on for dear life as his shoes zig zag him around the court while he avoids defenders. Can you mock this up, bmd? lol

    Maybe Dwight Howard could learn how to throw touchdown passes from out of bounds, since clearly you are safe from being fouled til you inbound the ball! :eek::grin::cool::p

    Everyone one here has such an imagination. Great ideas too lol..

    But seriously, the only one I could think of is the shield. Dwight can inbound and as soon as he inbound he is covered by a wall of players. Protect the president style.

    If Clutch could pass this information on to McHale, that would be great.
