VIDEO: Dwight Howard loves him some 'Finding Nemo'

Dwight Howard is a Disney kid at heart.

The Houston Rockets center revealed that his favorite movie is "Finding Nemo," which he admits to having watched over 200 times.

It is the father-son storyline that hits Howard right in the heartstrings, since he sees his father as Marlin, who was overprotective of Nemo.

"My dad is the same way how Nemo's dad is. It's a similar situation," explained the 29-year-old. "My mom, she lost seven kids, and I was one of the ones that was not supposed to make it also.

"I ended up making it and it's a blessing to be here. That's why I can relate to that movie."

So if his father is Marlin, that would make Howard Nemo, right? Wrong.

Don't get it twisted. Howard has no little flipper.
