Beijing - When Dwight Howard is around, you get ready to have some fun.

The NBA superstar, known for his sense of humor and strong desire to perform in public, teamed up with Kai Ko, a Taiwan actor, and Wu Jingyu, a two-time taekwondo Olympic gold medalist, in Beijing’s Sanlitun area for an Adidas fitness campaign on Sunday night.

Howard revealed he was almost recovered from his back injury and is eager to win a championship with his new Houston Rockets teammates.

As usual, the funny big man – who can't convert his 6'11'' height into the metric system - pulled out all the tricks in his repertoire – including singing, making faces, tring to pronounce Chinese words, and doing a Harlem Shake – to entertain hundreds of fans in the house during the two-hour event.

The trio also showed off some skills in their respective fields and learned yoga from coach Ashleigh Sergeant.
