No, we didn’t call her a straight-out whore, just one for attention. But the story isn’t that the mother of an athlete’s illegitimate child is seeking media attention. No, it’s how she’s doing: By explicitly claiming that she isn’t.

The latest example of Royce Reed — that’s the Baby Momma in question –  and her sideline celebrity complex came Thursday night, while the father of her child was on the court in Cleveland. During Orlando’s Game 5 loss, Reed responded almost real time to a tweet sent out by Robert Littal, the blogger and tweeter who has a tendency to go for the jugular of athletes and their social lives. Essentially, here’s what went down: Littal tweeted that Howard knocked up the first girl who would jump in bed with him, and she happened to be a cheerleader, then Reed responded to Littal saying that she and Howard had a legitimate relationship.

Sunday night, the Orlando Magic were busy celebrating 20 years of the NBA team’s existence. As part of the “20 Years of Magic” celebration, more than 100 former Magic Dancers showed up at the Amway Arena - including this hot mama with a toddler in tow:

Who’s that? Why, it’s none other than Royce Reed, former girlfriend of Magic star Dwight Howard. And the little bundle of joy in her arms? That’s Royce & Dwight’s 1-year-old son, Braylon Joshua Robert Howard.

If you recall, little Braylon was the subject of a little controversy involving Dwight. Here was the older Howard, a superstar role model & very devout Christian, spreading the word of God ‘n’ such - and he goes out and impregnates a team dancer, who ends up having Dwight’s baby out of wedlock.

But Royce is back, and ready to show Dwight what he’s been missing out on. Pics of Dwight’s baby mama in action after the jump.

Here’s Your Recap of SbB Today …

• Packers Bikini Girls apparently have “been around for years” (see update on this post). More pics here.

• Dungy’s staying for one more season until failed college coach Jim Caldwell takes over Colts.

• “Coming To America” predicts Giants-Packers outcome. Really.

Earlier today we posted on hypocrisy of Dwight Howard’s devout christian brethren mindlessly continuing to embrace him after he had a child out of wedlock.

But after seeing photos of his baby momma, a former Orlando Magic cheerleader named Royce Reed, we now completely understand Howard’s break with the Lord. (Pointer from INSIDE HOOPS)

The ORLANDO SENTINEL has the inevitable follow-up piece to noted theologian Dwight Howard having a child out of wedlock.

Howard, who has claimed to be devoutly religious his entire life, said when he was drafted, “Character has been in me, the way I am. I’m not going to change because I have money.”

More: “He has spoken often about converting as many NBA players as possible to his Christian faith and typically signs the phrase ‘God Bless’ alongside his autograph. During last year’s NBA All-Star Game slam dunk contest, Howard slapped a sticker with a picture of his smiling face on the backboard while dunking the ball. The sticker had the hand-written phrase, ‘All things through Christ.’ Phil. 4:13.”

One thing we know is that Howard’s behavior is like the majority of NBA players, so nothing will likely change on the endorsement front. But what of his devoted religious flock? How do they feel about him and his Baby Momma? (We feel GREAT, after seeing her amazing photos:)
