Dwight Howard Reveals His True Feelings Toward Nikola Jokic Amid Vicious Trash Talk

Los Angeles Lakers superstar Dwight Howard and Nuggets big man Nikola Jokic got involved in a nasty trash talk in the first three games of the Western Conference Finals. NBA fans believe that these two don’t like each other at all. They are wrong.

In his interview with Jeff Zillgitt of USA TODAY Sports, Howard says he enjoys playing against Jokic. According to him, the All-Star is an excellent player.

“I like him a lot,” Howard said of Jokic. “He plays under control, doesn’t let anybody rush him, he gets to his spots, he makes plays for his teammates. Rebounds. He does a little bit of everything. He’s a complete player. I love playing against him.”

Dwight Howard to confront Nikola Jokic in Game 4

Jokic and his team defeated the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 3 of the WCF by eight points. The Lakers lead the best-of-seven series 2-1. Will they win the ucpoming game?

Refs almost eliminated Howard from Game 3 for yapping. He tried to get inside Jokic’s head, but his plan didn’t work. The Nuggets big man is averaging 24.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists in the first three games of the WFC while shooting 54.2 percent from the field and 82.6 percent from the free-throw line.

The Lakers will do their best to win Game 4. Players are under pressure and we totally understand that. Los Angeles can’t let the Nuggets win Game 4. If they win, the Lakers will have to deal with even greater pressure.

LeBron James and Anthony Davis need to be more aggressive in the upcoming game. They didn’t provide an aggressive game last night. Hopefully, this will change tomorrow.

Head coach Frank Vogel provided an injury update on his players. Danny Green and Alex Caruso sustained injuries and the team has listed them as probably. For now, there isn’t too much to worry about. LA is healthy and players need to stay healthy to win the series and make the NBA Finals. Lakers fans hold their fingers crosses.
