LOS ANGELES — Dwight Howard is seeing the silver lining in all of this

The veteran center is hell-bent on proving doubters wrong in a return trip to a city where he could have reached the pinnacle of it all.

Having a fresh outlook on things and a goal to redeem his former Glory the former Dunk contest champion and many-time Defensive Player of the Year says he will embrace this chance donning the purple and gold.

“I’m big on new beginnings, and this is the time to start up a new time. I\’m just looking forward to having a fresh start with the fans and show them my only dedication is to put another banner up here in Los Angeles,” he said.

And he hopes the Lakers fans, and the others intently eyeing his upcoming role with the franchise, will give him another shot.

Howard, the apparent proxy big man to the Lakers campaign as starting Center DeMarcus Cousins still sits out due to an injury, will make the most out of this opportunity. He will now be teaming up with Anthony Davis and LeBron James in a bid to cop his first NBA title since coming close to capturing a ring with the Orlando Magic.

“This is a very big blessing to re-sign with the Lakers,” he said

Francis Ngannou cries ‘deception’ vs Anthony Joshua camp

Former UFC fighter Francis Ngannou accused AJ camp of ‘trickery’ when he suffered devastating knockdowns in the first and second round last March 8, 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The MMA fighter and former UFC heavyweight champion said that AJ camp sabotaged him by letting him go early in the arena.

“We both fought at 3am. What I think, something that’s happened is that they get me to the arena very early. Like my pickup time was 10.30pm to go to the arena. And then when we get to the arena, they tell us that we are scheduled around 1.45am. right?” Ngannou blurted.

He believed that he came exhausted, which resulted in his humiliating defeat.
