Dwight Howard on Lakers’ 2020 Offseason…
In the 2019-20 season, the Los Angeles Lakers had a cast of role players as perfect as a penguin in a tuxedo, leading to their championship win. Dwight Howard, who was part of this star lineup, thought he was returning for more glory. He was so convinced that he tweeted about his grand comeback before realizing it was more of a “peekaboo, just kidding” moment. The Lakers had retracted the offer faster than a magician hiding a rabbit, leaving Howard puzzled and looking to the Philadelphia 76ers to continue his journey.
In an interview, Dwight pulled back the curtain on this offseason sitcom. He shared how he was told of his supposed contract, only for his agent to call later, snatching away his dreams like a candy from a giant baby. Howard was disappointed not to defend the team’s title and believed they could have triumphed again. Though his Lakers chapter closed, he returned briefly and is now immortalized in Basketball Hall of Fame glory—pretty sweet revenge against the never-ending game of musical chairs among NBA teams!
