Dwight Howard Joins Basketball’s Elite…

Dwight Howard, one of the fiercest giants ever to grace the basketball court, initially teamed up with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2012 with dreams of sky-high triumphs. Sadly, those dreams stumbled like a giraffe on roller skates when the team couldn’t find its rhythm. The hilarious twist? Howard eventually rejoined the Lakers in 2020, proving you can indeed go back to the same buffet line for another round of championships—securing his spot in the Hall of Fame Class of 2025! His excitement is as high as his jump, and fans can watch this monumental moment on NBA TV at 4 p.m. PT, Saturday, Sep. 6.

Over his 18-year stint of showing everyone how basketball should be played, Howard showcased stats as impressive as a dog juggling flaming swords with 15.7 points, 11.8 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks over 1,242 games! His prime was with the Orlando Magic, flying high with 18.4 points and 13 rebounds per game. The 2025 Hall of Fame lineup isn’t short on talents with other legends like fellow Laker Carmelo Anthony, which will surely make the ceremony more star-studded than a Hollywood red carpet!
