Dwight Howard Sends Message to NBA With Bold Promise

Dwight Howard wasn’t really sure about the NBA bubble, and many thought that he would stay away from the game and focus more on social justice protests. Howard made a decision and joined his teammates on their way to Orlando. The Los Angeles Lakers had the best record in the Western Conference, and now they are going after the championship win.

Howard made the finals almost a decade ago, and he was playing with the Orlando Magic back then. Today, he will win a title with the Lakers, and this may be his best chance to win one.

Why did Howard decide to play in Orlando? He is inside the bubble, and he made a promise. He made this promise to himself.

Howard has a big role on the court, and the Lakers are more than lucky to have him back.

“I promised myself if we ever got back we wasn’t gonna lose. I pray the most high gives us another chance. Right here in Orlando. Where it all started for us,” the caption reads.

Dwight Howard “enjoys” his time inside the NBA bubble

This brings us to the snitch hotline. Yes, that’s how players call the tip line the NBA introduced to held players accountable for their actions. Howard was snitched on, and he said that someone “told on” him because he didn’t have a protective mask on his face.

The NBA season will return later this summer, but fans are nowhere to be seen. Lakers veteran Jared Dudley has something to say about the use of artificial crowd noise and he has different idea. Are they serious about this?

“If I was the NBA, I know obviously there’s inappropriate language at times but throughout most of the game there’s not, but I would have a camera so you could hear,” Dudley told media members Thursday. “This is the one experience we’re trying to sell for the fans at home.

“We don’t have a crowd, so what’s one thing we can give you that we were never able to give you guys before? That would be the in-game experience of what’s trash-talking, hearing ‘Bron talk to refs, hearing James Harden when it comes to trying to get a call from a ref, trash-talking with Pat Bev and other people. I think fans are intrigued by that. I think they want to hear what people have to say and I think it can bring excitement.”
