Metta World Peace Shares Powerful Message on Dwight Howard’s Inspiring Comeback With Lakers

Metta World Peace has a powerful message on Dwight Howard and his time with the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers have proved themselves to be one of the best teams in the league so far this season. They are currently taking on the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals and have looked very good so far in the series. They currently have a 3-1 league and are looking at finishing out the title tonight.

Dwight Howard left the Lakers in 2013, in free agency after a disappointing stint with the team that instantly made him public enemy No. 1 in Los Angeles. He continued to bounce around the league, unable to find success.

Almost ten years later, Dwight Howard has reinvented himself in his return to Los Angeles, becoming a fan favorite amongst those who once reviled him. He also has earned high praise from his former teammate, Metta World Peace.

Welcome to the family.’
