Dwight Howard Posts Touching Tribute To Young Rockets Fan Who Died

The Houston center first met 7-year-old James Fisher back in December when the young fan got to hang out with Howard before a game. Fisher was battling terminal brain cancer and gave Howard a bracelet so the big man could show his support.
