Dwight Howard, the new center of the Los Angeles Lakers, met his idol Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

He was very excited to meet the hall of famer. (I would too!)

Take a look at the tweets and the photo here:

“Just sat down with @kaj33. Man God is so good. Was in tears,” tweeted Dwight. “What a blessing. This is like a dream come true. Go Lakers.”

Dwight also tweeted a photo of him posing with Kareem:

Also, Kareem wrote a couple tweets in return, “#Dwight Howard. Great meeting you today - Laker Nation is in great hands for years to come. Now let’s WIN a championship,” tweeted Kareem. “#Dwight Howard. thankful to impart my knowledge to a highly-motivated, gifted, athlete with integrity and focus on the prize - a championship!”

Dwight Howard will become an unrestricted free agent after the 2012-2013 NBA season. Please stay with Lake Show, Dwight! :D
