Hey @DwightHoward, that shot was nice and all, but how about some H-O-R-S-E when we come to Houston Jan. 31st? pic.twitter.com/fZ4T2D5ucz

That shot is now in the Guinness Book of World Records as the longest backward shot. Law also holds the record for the world's longest shot ever.
The Harlem Globetrotters will be in Houston this weekend and challenged Howard to a game of H-O-R-S-E. Howard accepted.
