For better or for worse, Dwight Howard has always been a fun-loving guy.
You can never accuse the 6-11, 265-pounder of taking himself (and some would add the game) too seriously,.
Following the Hawks' hard-fought 119-114 win against the Bulls Wednesday night, the big fella, along with point guard Dennis Schroder, was handling an otherwise run-of-the-mill postgame interview with Fox Sports Southeast's Olivia Harlan.

Schroder immediately noticed the sophomoric humor in his teammate's statement. Howard made sure to reiterate his point, realizing he'd made a funny. To her credit, Harlan, the daughter of NFL and NBA commentator Kevin Harlan, kept it professional unlike her much older subjects.
The moment mirrored a similar interaction between the Warriors' Klay Thompson and sideline reporter Ros Gold-Onwude that went viral on social media a couple seasons ago.
If you didn't chuckle at all, congratulations, you're a mature adult.
