Yesterday, the Houston Rockets’ very own Dwight Howard took to his IG to express his condolences for one of his fav little guys.
His sweet vid was for seven year old James Fisher . James is was guy Dwight took to back in December (2014).
James lost his battle with brain cancer on Monday.
Check out Dwight’s messages and the vid of Dwight and James on the court shooting a basket from December.
You can understand and feel Dwight’s somber and sad message about the passing of his little buddy.

Read Dwight’s touching message to his buddy James, “Rest in peace lil James Fisher. He passed away a couple hours ago. He was the little kid I picked up to dunk a couple of months ago during pregame warmups. He aslo gave me the rubber band that says James strong. He was such an inspiration to me and my teammates.. I have worn the band everyday since he gave it to me and I will continue to wear this band. You are in a better place. No more pain. No more hospital visits. Just peace love and happiness. And you can dunk as may times as u want. See u in heaven James.”
Rest in Peace little guy.
