Dwight Howard doesn’t like being called a bitch — and was physically restrained when he got into it with a Lakers fans after the game Sunday night.
TMZ Sports has footage in which you can hear a man shouting obscenities at Howard after the Lakers beat the Hawks 109-94 at Staples Center.
At one point the man — who we’re told appeared to be in his 20s — says, “You’re a bitch!”
Dwight — who was on the way to the locker room — stopped in his tracks and jawed back at the heckler, “Come back here and say it.”
A team official grabs Howard and starts physically pushing the 6’11″ superstar back toward the tunnel … as he continues to challenge the fan.
It’s not the first time Howard’s been heckled at Staples — the former Laker was taunted last year with a “Kobe” chant during a playoff game against the Clippers. He wasn’t happy then either.
