In this alternate universe, Soulja Boy's music is not played on radios.
Therefore, Soulja Boy's "Crank Dat" was not a hit.
Therefore, nobody is familiar with the line, "Superman that ho"
Therefore, Dwight Howard is not inspired to wear a Superman costume during the Slam Dunk contest. (Remember, Dwight Howard did the whole Superman thing because he liked that song)
Therefore, Dwight Howard isn't nearly the household name he is today. In addition the comparisons are not made between one "Superman" (Howard) and another "Superman" (Shaquille O'Neal)
The question is: Did Soulja Boy (exhibit A) play a very significant part in the marketability of Dwight Howard (exhibit B).
Exhibit A: Soulja Boy
Exhibit B: Dwight Howard
Yes and No.
Yes, he played a significant part in making Dwight Howard popular, but eventually Dwight Howard would have been popular because of his jovial and likeable nature. Soulja Boy just helped him get there faster.
Dwight Howard should send a residual check every month for the next year to Soulja Boy.
