VIDEO: Dwight Howard and Quinn Cook Filmed LeBron James' Chalk Toss Ahead of Lakers-Pelicans
By Karl Rasmussen
LeBron James is back to his old chalk-tossing antics in the 2019-20 season. But for this particular game, a pair of his teammates decided they wanted a close-up view to The King's pregame ritual. Dwight Howard and Quinn Cook grabbed a cellphone from the scorers table and proceeded to film James while he did his routine.

Cook and Howard acted like excited fans as they eagerly captured the moment on camera, before returning the phones to their owners.
LeBron paid the two no mind as he pumped himself up for the home game against the Pelicans, and even dapped up Dwight afterwards.

The Lakers are looking to claim their 28th win of the year, but that hasn't stopped the players from clowning around with one another. While Cook and Howard aren't superstars -- neither average even 20 minutes per game -- they fill their role perfectly and without complaint, and are meshing seamlessly with their new teammates.
