James becomes just the second player in Lakers history to leave the purple-and-gold franchise as a reigning All-Star, joining Dwight Howard on the list. Considering the Lakers have been a franchise since 1948-49, for them to have lost just two All-Stars in free agency the following offseason is almost hard to believe.

Former NBA Star Dwight Howard says his wife is a master of lies and manipulation ... and alleges she tricked him into marriage with false claims about her fertility ... at least according to new legal docs obtained by TMZ. Dwight filed court docs requesting a protective order against Amber -- also known by her stage name Amy Luciani -- claiming they have had a rocky relationship for years … which led to him filing for divorce.
Dan Weiss: Victor Wembanyama ties Dwight Howard with 8 first half playoff blocks for the most in the play-by-play era. Howard had 8 in the first half in Game 1 on April 18, 2010 vs. the Charlotte Bobcats.
Draymond Green: Joker has always — the one thing he has struggled with is length. If you go back and look at when the Lakers were able to beat them in 2020, the only reason they were able to beat them is because they had three guys that they could throw at Joker with length: Dwight Howard, JaVale McGee, and obviously, at times, Anthony Davis. They were able to throw length at Joker — length after length after length — and that’s why they were ultimately able to take the Nuggets down then, but haven’t been able to take the Nuggets down since. So Rudy’s doing a great job. You have to give him credit. In saying that, Joker’s still getting a lot of the shots he wants, but the length is bothering him. But he also can make these shots. So, yes, he could come out and go for 40 tonight. That does not mean Rudy hasn’t been causing him to have a tough time. The length is what he does have some problems with, if he has any problems at all.”
Jason Beede: #Magic guard Desmond Bane is one of only four players in the NBA to play and start in all 82 games this season, per the team. Bane is the first Orlando player since Dwight Howard in 2009-10 to start in all 82 games.
Lou Williams: I’ve had opportunities to play overseas and like lockouts and this and that. But it doesn't even matter. We have this thing in our business called feed the family, right? F*ck what somebody thinking about. Feed the fam. That's why you still see guys that Dwight Howard, top 75 player in the world, still playing. I'm still gonna be in Taiwan. Demarcus Cousins, I'm still gonna be in Mongolia. Feed the family at all costs.

Dwight Howard: Woke up today on the 12th of this month and I figured it’s time to move on from Superman! Im no super human… I cry ! I struggle! I feel like everyone else. Through the lies, the media and the hate I still show love and Smile Through The Storm. But now Im taking off the cape and retiring from all basketball to pour into my family and give back to communities worldwide. I know some of you might think I thought he already “retired” but I didn’t… the game retired me! I still had more left to give ! Yeah I did play professionally for 20 years and Im grateful to be able to say that but I can’t lie seeing these other players still going at it at age 40 inspired me to want to keep trying but now I believe my duty will be to pass it down to the next generation .
Dwight Howard: So Thank you to all my fans and supporters throughout this journey I love and appreciate yall dearly because without yall it would be no me! Also thank you to the Naysayers, the haters, the snakes, and people that came into my life to try to destroy me. Because everytime yall did …it only made me stronger. When my documentary releases this year the world will know the truth about EVERYTHING! Then you will see how the sheltered little boy from college park Georgia who went to the same school from pre-k to 12th grade then straight to the NBA was taken advantage of by the world. But through it all still managed to keep SMILING 🙏🏾😁 & Since I didn’t get a chance to ever have a farewell tour I decided to create a tour not for fans to appreciate me but for me to appreciate them for supporting me all these years and giving me a reason to smile doing what I love Every 12th of the month from now on will be D12 day where I visit cities all over the world and do acts of kindness for random to people to give them a reason to Smile 😊
