    I think that quote is from The Dark Knight, not TDKR.

    That's lame. You're nickname shouldn't be based on some movie quotes. And forget Superman too, that's in the past.

    The league, the media, the fans already gave Howard a nickname: Dwightmare.

    They tried to use that to drag him down, to mock him. Instead of running away from it, Dwight should embrace it: You want to make me into the villain? I'll be your villain. You want me to be Dwightmare? I'll be the worst ****ing Dwightmare you've ever had.

    Clutch City was built on the shoulders of the Dream. It only makes sense to pass the throne to the Dwightmare.

    So we Bearded the Dwightmare in his den, and now we'll ride him to victory?

    I thought Dwight was Rocketman now. He can write his own superhero destiny.

    I love the quote about James Harden not coming around every 10 years. Says a lot about what he thinks about James.

    Two parts of the movie that Dwight should take to heart more than that part he mentioned!

    While he is here, his motto:

    His fall in Orlando, broke his back, and the Rockets rise to victory:
    Why he came to Houston and the Rockets climb to greatness:

    "James Harden doesn't come by every 10 years; it doesn't happen," Howard says.

    He is right, of course. It's just really hard to find a Courtney Lee with better scoring abilities.

    "Other teams have more history, but yesterday's scores don't win today's games," he says. "You've got to look at the now. What's in the now? What can we do now? Nobody cared about what I did eight years ago, they want to know what I can do now, and it's the perfect team for me."

    I love they quote from Howard.

    If we are going to base nicknames on movies, how about

    Dwight will not embrace Dwightmare (although he should), because the media already used that in a derogatory manner during his decision to sign his extension or not.
