Flea From the Red Hot Chili Peppers Feels Bad for Bashing Dwight Howard During Rockets/Lakers Game

Dwight Howard's return to Los Angeles went about as expected--the fans thrashed him mercilessly and the Rockets thrashed the Lakers 134-108.

Pretty much whenever Howard touched the ball the boo birds came out and fans chanted 'Howard sucks.' For his part, Howard handled it all in stride en route to a 20 point, 13 rebound night. It appears that he might have even made a fan once again out of Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea:

I screamed at Dwight that he sucked and he turned to me and said thank you. Now I feel guilty. The guy went and became a human being on me

Awww.

Had the Rockets lost it's doubtful the chants would have been as funny to him and his teammates, but later on the plane it was clear they were having a blast with the 'Howard sucks' chant--especially Howard.
