Dwight Howard Reaction To Winning His First NBA Championship Is Going Viral

Los Angeles Lakers veteran Dwight Howard put his hands on the very first NBA championship win. The former No.1 pick did his thing on the basketball floor. Howard helped his teammates defeat the Miami Heat in six games. LA won Game 6 of the NBA Finals and it was crazy. It was probably the wildest game LA had in their postseason run.

LeBron James won his fourth title. This was the 17th win in team history. Howard and many other players won their first ring. Anthony Davis won his first ring, too.

Dwight Howard is proud of himself for winning his NBA championship

The former Orlando Magic star lost to late Lakers legend Kobe Bryant and his team in the 2009 NBA Finals. He was pretty emotional after winning his first title.

“Don’t ever give up on your dreams,” the veteran said on Instagram Live. “You can do it. I swear, just keep fighting. I swear to God, don’t ever give up on yourself. Look at this s**t. I’m sorry for cursing to all the kids out there. Bro listen, don’t ever give up on yourself. You’re already a champion.”

The eight-time NBA All-Star is in his second stint with the Lakers. The Orlando Magic traded him to LA in 2012. Howard was supposed to join forces with the Black Mamba and win a title. The pairing didn’t end well, and Lakers players failed to make the deep postseason.

Things took a different turn in Howard’s second stint with the team. He was playing with a dominant win and had a big role on the floor.

LA lost two games in the NBA Finals. Players had a big motivation to move on with a win. Some of them made a few mistakes. Danny Green missed an important 3-pointer. Well, hey, players do make mistakes. It’s all part of the game. The Los Angeles Lakers won the 2020 championship and that’s the only thing that matters right now. Howard and his teammates have so much to share, and we are waiting for the juiciest details of their postseason. Orlando was on fire last night. So was the area around the Staples Center.
