Dwight Howard pulled yet another (unintentional) trick out of the bag, throwing down a thunderous dunk during the layups lines before the Los Angeles Lakers took on the Brooklyn Nets in Shanghai, China.
The center elevated for a dunk after tossing the ball off the glass, only to bust out of his warmups while airborne, getting the ooohs and aaahs from the local crowd:

Howard, the Slam Dunk Contest champion in 2008, has not lost his ability to throw it down with power, still impressing fans with his ability to soar and hammer one down with effortless precision.
The three-time Defensive Player of the Year is on a redemption tour, joining his former team and hoping to salvage his career after an injury-riddled season with the Washington Wizards left his future once again in doubt.
Dwight Howard pumped a decent five points, eight rebounds, one assist, one steal, and a block in 18 quality minutes of preseason action against the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday, as the teams played without corporate logos on the court or media sessions. His rim-rocking dunks were welcomed by an adoring Chinese crowd, who have seen him make many-a-poster throughout his 15-year career in the league.
The Nets pulled out a 114-111 victory. The two teams are scheduled to play again on Saturday.
