Dwight Howard has been called a bitch plenty of times in his NBA career but last night in Los Angeles he finally had enough, and challenged some heckling Lakers fans to “say it to his face.” 

As seen in the clip, Dwight had to be escorted back to the locker room by security after getting into a shouting match with some raucous fans at the Staples Center who repeatedly called him a bitch. 

After the game he said he didn’t notice the fans booing him every time he touched the ball during the game, but he apparently forgot to “close his ears” while heading to the locker rom.

“I didn’t” hear boos, Howard claimed. “I closed my ears.”

Howard finished with 19 points, nine boards and two blocks, but the Lakers picked up a 109-94 win on Sunday, completing a season sweep of the Hawks.
