Video: Dwight Howard Hilariously Mocks Charles Barkley & Shaq Before Game

If it's a TNT game, and the Los Angeles Lakers are playing, that can only mean one thing: Plenty of jokes at the Lakers' expense. At least, that's what LA center Dwight Howard was expecting as he entered the building last night, while hilariously mocking Charles Barkley and Shaq:
