Dwight Howard goes Mortal Kombat with pre-game introductions

Two NBA things of which we are generally somewhat disdainful: over-elaborate pre-game rituals, and Dwight Howard acting like he is the most fun person on the planet.

However, Dwight Howard’s imitation of Scorpion from Mortal Kombat during pre-game intros is absolutely perfect:

Every facet of the execution is flawless. From the GET OVER HERE to the wobble to the huge fallback on the punch. Well done, Rockets.

We look forward to Howard freezing his teammates a la Sub-Zero, ripping them apart with the help of a teammate’s additional arms a la Goro, and kissing them until they explode a la Kitana.
