In case you missed it: Dwight Howard sets Guinness world record

By J.E. Skeets

Chances are you've already seen this video floatin' around the 'net, but I thought it was worth re-sharing for anyone who refuses to fire up the ol' Commodore 64 over the weekend. (Dad, I'm looking at you.)

On Saturday, during NBA All-Star Jam Session in Dallas, Magic man Dwight Howard(notes) entered the Guinness Book of World Records by hitting the longest basketball shot while sitting down. After nailing one from half-court, Howard scooted back to 52 feet and six inches, flicked his wrist, and made seated history.

Watch the video below.

UPDATE: Dustin Leach says he's already beaten Dwight's record — and he has the video to prove it.
