Social media is a great way for people to act, and it also allows professional sports teams to send some jabs online. For that, we are thankful.

The Phoenix Suns were celebrating โ€œKJ Dunk Nightโ€ on Sunday, Feb. 23, according to the Houston Chronicleโ€™s Jonathan Feigen. Back in Game 4 of the 1994 Western Conference semifinals, Phoenixโ€™s Kevin Johnson dunked on the Houston Rocketโ€™s Hakeem Olajuwon, via YouTube:

The Rockets went on to win that game and eventually the series in seven games.

On Sunday, Houston big man Dwight Howard threw down a one-handed slam off a lob against the Phoenix Suns:

With Phoenix celebrating the dunk on this night, Houston figured it would be a good time to bring up the occasion:

Shots fired.

Howard's dunk got the Rockets' Twitter account pumped up, but the Suns were not impressed:

These two teams could wind up meeting in the playoffs, which would create a very compelling storyline.

The Rockets got the last laugh in this game as they rallied late for a 115-112 victory.
