Dwight Howard retains tweeting dangerous photoshops to troll the Lakers for not bringing him again to protect Nikola Jokic

The Los Angeles Lakers maintain getting their hearts ripped out by the Denver Nuggets, however followers who need to keep in mind a happier time, when their favourite staff was able to slowing down Nikola Jokic and (extra importantly) beating him in a sequence don’t should look far. They simply should go to Dwight Howard’s Twitter account, the place he’s reminding them of his efforts within the 2020 Western Convention Finals after each recreation.

As a result of that is Dwight Howard, and he has to do that in doubtlessly essentially the most hysterical approach attainable, he’s primarily telling the Lakers they need to have simply signed him by tweeting an insanely oversaturated, presumably AI-generated picture of himself in a Lakers jersey… though he has performed for the Lakers in three separate stints.

It began after Sport 1…

…however Howard posted once more mere minutes after the staff’s newest soul-crushing defeat by the hands of Jokic and Co., apparently in an effort to advertise his podcast (so mission completed I assume?):

However for critics asking: “Why did he photoshop this? Was it simply so as to add the Superman cape? Didn’t he do the dunk contest in a Lakers-themed Superman outfit and cape anyway?” the reply is to that final half is sure…

…however Dwight has a quite simple rationalization for why he used these deep-fried meme edits anyway:

Now for these of you questioning, no, the Lakers can not simply signal Dwight Howard and have him eligible for Sport 3. Sure, I do know Jaxson Hayes is dangerous, however that doesn’t qualify the staff for a roster exemption.

However for any of you asking the opposite apparent questions, like “isn’t Dwight retired?” and “might he even nonetheless assist? how previous is he at this level?”, the solutions are:

1. no, he has spent the final two seasons taking part in abroad, most not too long ago within the Philippines
2. He thinks so, and he’s “solely” 38, as he’s comfortable to inform any Lakers followers questioning his present degree of Jokic-stopping talents, once more with some hysterically overdone edits

Now, is that true? May Dwight truly assist? I imply… most likely not, or one would suppose he’d nonetheless be within the NBA, or a minimum of have gotten an opportunity in some unspecified time in the future within the final two seasons. However he was a shell of himself in his ultimate season with the Lakers, which seemingly put an finish to any desires of 1 final, fourth dance with L.A.

Nevertheless, I nonetheless suppose the Lakers ought to carry him in for Sport 3. Even when he’s not allowed to play, his NBA Bubble trash speak is mainly the very last thing we’ve got on-record of rattling Joker in any approach…

…so there are definitely worse plans the Lakers might strive on Jokic. Like no matter they did within the second half of Sport 2, for instance. So right here’s hoping they fly Dwight out… or a minimum of let him borrow their staff graphic designer.

Severely dude, hell, simply ship me an e mail, I’ll ask our social media staff to make you a greater one than this simply so you possibly can cease singing our retinas after the following two losses.
