Kobe isn’t around to tell him to keep the clown act in Orlando, so Dwight is back to his happy-go-lucky self. Since, he doesn’t like to use the Superman moniker anymore after Shaq punked him, he is thinking about trying out a new name.
Dwight also suggested he could be the “Chocolate Mamba.” And sell a snack bar by that name.

I don’t think the Lakers or their fans cared if he wanted to call himself “Maury Mamba”, as long as he continues to play at a high level.
The Lakers still have a shot at the 7th seed, if they beat the Rockets in their season finale, but they still can fall all the way out of the playoffs as well.
So, Dwight can joke, but he also needs to produce. His team needs him.
