Dwight Howard is surprised and disappointed that he’s being labeled a cheater.

On Monday, the NBA issued an official warning to the Rockets for the center’s use of a sticky substance on his hands during Houston’s loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday.

Howard said Monday that he doesn’t understand what all the fuss is about.

“I just think that it’s getting overblown, like I’m doing something crazy,” he said. “But again, I’ve never been a cheater, never been the type of player that has to do something illegal to win. It’s upsetting, but I can’t control it now.”
