Dwight Howard has a ‘4-word’ response to Marcus Morris claiming Clippers would’ve won the championship in 2020 if there was no bubble

Howard’s response indirectly challenged the Clippers’ narrative that external factors, such as the bubble, were solely responsible for their playoff disappointment. Instead, it implied that factors beyond the bubble, such as team cohesion and performance on the court, ultimately determined the outcome of the playoffs.

The LA Clippers’ collapse in the playoffs, despite being favorites to win the championship, underscores the unpredictability of postseason basketball and the importance of resilience in overcoming adversity. Howard’s retort serves as a reminder that success in the NBA requires more than just talent.

Russell Westbrook and Lakers would “sweep” Kevin Durant’s Warriors, according to Dwight Howard

Dwight Howard expressed confidence in his former teammates, as he said they would sweep the Durant-era Warriors in a series, even with the Warriors at their prime. Howard believes the Lakers’ strong rebounding and defensive presence, with himself, LeBron James , Anthony Davis , Russell Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony , and Rajon Rondo , would make them unstoppable.

Who gonna check LeBron? All of us in our primes, we sweeping! You got me, Melo, Russ, [Anthony Davis], Rondo, and LeBron. We got all the rebounds! Dwight Howard said on his podcast, Above the Rim

The 2019 Warriors, with Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson , and DeMarcus Cousins, were a formidable team, where they won 57 games despite Cousins’ injury. However, Howard believes the Lakers’ championship core, with two MVPs and three All-Stars, would have been dominant if they were all in their prime.

Howard’s confidence stemmed from his own impressive stats during his best season, where he averaged 22.9 points, 14.1 rebounds, and 2.4 blocks per game on 59% shooting. Adding his production to a peak LeBron James and Anthony Davis would make the Lakers a force to be reckoned with, even against a dynasty like the Warriors.
